DaVinci Academy teacher Matthew Wildeboer helps Jaclyn Minter, center, with a question Aug. 17 during an eighth-grade advanced literature class.

It allows teachers to make assignments and give students feedback on their work. “We use Canvas pretty extensively in my class,” Wildeboer said. “I have the students go to a certain unit that I’ve prepared and have them click a link to go to the Canvas stuff.
