Canvastic Version 3.5 is the fantastic student-focused graphics, text and media publishing tool for K-8. Students can write, create images, and present, all in one interface.
Canvastic is flexible & customizable and that makes it scalable to all grade levels. The flexibility to choose the appropriate set of features and choices is the signature feature of the program. Five year olds can create on a canvas with just a paint brush, but a student in sixth grade has a full set of bitmap and vector graphics, word processing tools and media import functions.
Why is Canvastic the best choice to be your Media Publishing Tool?
Publishing the student’s content for print or the screen is natural. Canvastic utilizes easy to understand tools and options with a clear, clean interface. Industry standard tools prepare students for professional applications. Canvastic was created to satisfy teacher and student needs that other programs do not address.
Competitor programs are really just entertaining toys that are marketed to schools as a publishing software tool. The students love the toys, but never get enough work done.
Professional applications are often used in schools for publishing, but these titles were designed for adults in the business world, so students can easily become confused.
Technology teachers are often tired of educational software that turns their labs into “playtime” by making every feature, option and tool a toy or a game. They want to address standards, not monitor recess.
Canvastic does not have the "toy" features that many elementary applications include. It is all business, but scaled down to the correct level for the student using it. Choices and functions are designed to be appropriate for school use.
Canvastic is easy to use and businesslike. It doesn’t waste the user’s time and it doesn’t waste the teacher’s time.
Use Canvastic to create:
Books, flyers, reports, slide shows, QuickTime movies, audio Podcasts, diagrams, graphs, art, animations, greeting cards, brochures, designs, drawings, maps, letters, poems, posters, stories, and more.
Scalable to any grade level:
Canvastic looks and works in a different manner depending upon who is using it. Kindergarten students are given a brush, colors and a canvas because that is all they need for publishing. Middle school students get a complete set of bitmap and vector graphics and text tools because they can use them. And every variation in between is customizable.
**Who uses Canvastic? **
Students and teachers are authors and publishers. In order to meet the district and state standards, they must often write, graphically show and present information to many different groups and in many different ways. They write stories, sentences, descriptions, and reports. They draw depictions, maps, diagrams and graphs. They present their knowledge with pictures, text and video. Canvastic is a great tool for doing all of these, for any curriculum desired.
Students that use Canvastic learn:
Word Processing Skills
Digital Graphics Skills
Principles of Design and Page Layout
Presentation Skills
To Express their Creativity in Published Documents
To Integrate any Curriculum into the Publishing Process
To Export their Work to Common File Formats for Sharing
Networkable Administration of the Scalable Interfaces
While Canvastic is installed locally as most graphics rich programs are, the administration of the scalable interfaces can easily be administered over the network, with the preferences stored on the network server. With the adjustment of just one file, the Canvastic environment for students all over the school can be changed. Or, any workstation can be individually customized. Students can save their work to network servers or locally.
Files are compatible with your other applications
While editable Canvastic documents are saved in a proprietary format, they can be exported in common image formats (jpg, png, bmp). This allows other applications to open and edit Canvastic documents. Canvastic can also easily import files from other applications. And slide show presentations can be exported as QuickTime movie files!
