The results showed positive views of Canva, but challenges such as device availability, internet connectivity and infrastructure support were identified. Moreover, the acknowledgment of Canva's user-friendly interface and its capacity to produce professional-looking materials reflects educators' preference for tools that are both effective and easy to use in their teaching practices.
