Wondrous first full day of #ncss2024! We always forget how HUGE this event always feels, but really it's the *tiny* moments of run-ins with colleagues from far away of connections with strangers at an exhibition booth of epiphanies when someone says a thing during a session That's all priceless

You can save a Canva design to Google Drive and open in Google Slides. It takes several clicks, and the fonts and formatting might not match the original. Why do this? Perhaps you want your design stored in Google Drive, or sharing/collaboration works better for you in Slides. #EduSky #EdTech
