Empowering Educators: Canva Literacy as a Catalyst for Digital Transformation in Philippine Public Elementary Schools

This study explores Canva literacy among public elementary school teachers in Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija, focusing on proficiency, curriculum integration, attitudes, and its role in advancing digital literacy. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive approach, data from 100 teachers reveal high proficiency in using Canva to create engaging educational materials, with strong integration into teaching practices that enhance student engagement and accommodate diverse learning styles. Despite positive attitudes toward Canva’s user-friendly interface and time-saving features, technical barriers, notably internet connectivity, pose significant challenges. The findings align with the Department of Education’s (DepEd) digital literacy objectives, highlighting Canva’s potential as a transformative tool in modern pedagogy. Recommendations include embedding Canva in professional development, addressing infrastructure challenges, and implementing structured peer-training models. By proposing specific metrics for ongoing evaluation, this study offers a roadmap for sustainable Canva integration, contributing to a robust digital literacy framework for Philippine education.
