How to teach and track learning in one place

Planning a lesson can take hours.

Searching for content, adapting it, and turning it into something engaging for your students often means jumping between all kinds of tools.

What is Learn Grid?

Canva’s Learn Grid brings everything together in one place. It’s a dedicated learning platform with thousands of curriculum-mapped resources and AI-powered activity creation, all organized by grade, subject, and learning outcome.

Create engaging, interactive, activities for your students in more than 30 formats and over 16 languages — from interactive games, whiteboards and worksheets.

How it works:

Learn Grid helps you take an idea for a lesson and turn it into a custom activity with AI – so you're ready to teach it, in minutes. This is the flow you’ll follow throughout this guide.

Read each step, watch the short videos to see it in action, then try it yourself.

Note: Learn Grid is currently available in select regions. In other regions, you’ll see the education templates library instead.

Start with your goal

What do you want students to learn today?

Start with a clear outcome like understanding a concept, practicing a skill, or exploring an idea.

In this guide, we’ll walk through a real example so you can see how it works in practice. We’ll work with a Grade 5 Science lesson on states of matter, matched to the California curriculum.

Get started in seconds

Open Learn Grid to get started.

Choose a ready-made resource from the Learn Grid Library or create something new with AI.

Browse ready-to-teach resources by grade and subject

Either way, you’re moments away from something you can use.

Make it work for your class

Adjust and personalize your content so it fits your students.

Simplify or extend the difficulty
Add instructions or context
