While we won’t be able to gather for a group photo as we have in previous years, we encourage you to wear your Giving Day shirt, or blue and gold, on March 3. Snap a photo and Email givingday@canisius.edu. We will put together a photo college of faculty and staff virtually turning campus blue and gold.

One day. One Community. ONE CANISIUS.

Scanning PDF’s Using Smart Devices
You may want students to scan handwritten documents to turn in. Many students do not have document scanners and often times the pictures that they take with their phones are very large in file size.
The Microsoft Lens App is a powerful app available on both Google Play and the App Store. The Lens App allows students to quickly create and upload high-visibility PDF documents to Google Drive. Students can make single-paged or multi-paged PDF’s that are of high-quality. If students need to Email the PDF to you or to group members, it can easily be done in the app.
Check out the YouTube tutorial here. If you want, copy and paste the YouTube tutorial link into your D2L course: https://youtu.be/biO1SVv51Zc
