We've heard you — Teach users write in an English variant other than US English, and localized content matters. Starting today, Teach supports three new English locales: English (United Kingdom), English (Canada), and English (Australia).

How it works:
If you're using Teach for the first time, the language is automatically selected based on your browser language settings. So if your browser is set to en-GB, Teach will default to English (United Kingdom).
If you've used Teach before, it will default to your previously used language. You can switch anytime from the Language dropdown when creating content.

We've also updated the age/year selection to match what's appropriate for each locale — so you'll see "Year 9" instead of "Grade 9" when using English (UK), for example.

This is available to everyone right now. Give it a try and let us know how the generated content works for your locale!

How great is this Canva Revision Toolkit 🤩

This toolkit focuses on active revision, helping students move beyond simply reviewing content to actually creating, explaining and applying what they know.

✨ Use consistent visual icons to signal support
✨ Offer placeholders for written or audio responses
✨ Add alt text so images can be read aloud

[Miss Aird @miss_aird]

Designing inclusive learning scaffolds with digital tools isn’t an add-on — it’s essential. When aligned with UDL, digital scaffolds can remove barriers & give every learner meaningful access to content.

#UDL #InclusiveEducation #EdTech #Accessibility

[Miss Aird @miss_aird]

When creating digital scaffolds, try to:
✨ Add text instructions that remind students they can use built-in iPad tools like Speak Selection or Translate
✨ Provide audio directions so pupils can replay instructions
✨ Include clickable word banks or further reading links

[Miss Aird @miss_aird]

UDL encourages us to design learning with flexibility from the start — offering multiple ways to access content, show understanding & stay engaged.

With the use of technology we can remove barriers & create classrooms where neurodiverse learners can thrive.

I’ve created a series of quick guides for educators on supporting neurodiverse pupils in the classroom.

Small adjustments can make a big difference—when classrooms support different ways of learning, everyone benefits.
