Create Beautiful Teaching Resources. Fast!

Create Beautiful Teaching Resources. Fast. is an online course for teachers who want to create amazing resources for their classroom.

Hello! I'm Katie Wardrobe.

Join me inside the Create Beautiful Teaching Resources, Fast online course, and I'll show you how you can easily create TPT-worthy classroom resources. And we will have fun doing it!

I am an education technology trainer, speaker and consultant from Melbourne, Australia. I run my own business - Midnight Music and I love working with adult learners. I've trained thousands of teachers from all over the world - both online and in person - for around 12 years and I still get a thrill when someone learns something new and exciting!

I've been a Canva user since it first came on the scene and use it almost everyday. I'm now a Canva Certified Creative and I look forward to helping you feel more confident using Canva for your own designs.
