    What a creative video, Michelle! I loved seeing how easily you can make headers in Canva with seemingly unlimited options. I also enjoyed the Teaching to the Top podcast yesterday. My favorite part was when you and Bridget listed your "Mount Rushmore" items in your home offices. I truly look forward to each new podcast and video as they give me motivation and inspiration to finish out the work week strong! Thanks for being awesome! Enjoy your weekend! 💜

    I've been binge watching your old videos recently, and it's been very therapeutic for me. Thank you ❤ I taught 4th last year (5 preps daily, no aide, IEPs, ect.), quit and work from home this year (and LOVE it), but miss the kids like crazy. A part of me will always miss teaching. Before this, I taught middle school ELA. I empathize with so many of the struggles and emotions you had in your videos. Seems like teachers are asked to take on more and more every year, and I hope that changes!

    Hi Michelle! This video immediately inspired me to create my own header. Thanks to your detailed explanation, everything worked seamlessly. However, when I uploaded it into Google Classroom, there was a gray overlay on it. Now all my bright colors and cute designs are hiding behind that smokey cloud! There was also overlapping text on the header since Google Classroom also requires a class title, but I managed to fix that by replacing my mandatory title with a period. Any chance you have a workaround for the overlay? Thank you so much!

    Woohoo! I'm so happy I could inspire you to make your own header! The gray overlay is a feature of Google Classroom that unfortunately can't be altered (at least at this time). I keep hoping it's something Google will fix in the future!

    Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words... I'm so happy my videos have helped you! You can definitely create the header image in Google Slides but you wouldn't have access to the same graphics as you do in Canva. Also, you wouldn't be able to export the Google Slides file as a GIF... but you could export each slide as an image and then use another website or program to create a GIF by combining the images. Personally, I think it's easier to just use Canva.

    The timing is usually displayed at the top when you create a new slide... I'll be honest and say that I struggle to get it to reappear after I've started editing the slide sometimes. I've yet to find a great solution other than duplicating the slide to get it to reappear.
