If you have a smart phone, MiniVan is indispensable. Have your phone charged well before you go out though, because it eats up the juice.
I use the map view, and one trick you may not know is that you can swipe right on a name to mark it as not home (the most common response).
Download MiniVAN: iOS, Android (Then set up an ActionID for yourself)
If you have literature you are leaving, adding a little note saying something like "[Name], Sorry we missed you, Please be sure to vote on April 19!" can be helpful to add a personal touch. (And it gives you something to do while you wait to see if they answer the door). I usually write the name last, so if they do open the door I can give them a clean one, and then write the next person's name on the one with the message on it.

Canvassing is basically the act of going out into the community and contacting people face to face to learn about their issues and hopefully convince them to vote for your political candidate of choice.
What you need:
What you do:
If you're using the miniVAN app and have a "list" it will basically use your GPS location to generate a list of likely or undecided voters around your current location whose doors you can knock on. If they are around, great, have a conversation with them about how you are volunteering with the Bernie Sanders campaign and why Bernie is the candidate we need to beat Trump! If nobody is at home, slide some literature in their door jamb and find the next door to knock. Do NOT leave flyers or literature in mailboxes, it is ILLEGAL.
If you're using the BERN app there is a "Volunteer" tab and you click the "Talk about Bernie in my community" and basically try to fill out the fields that show up.
Tips:
A great way to get started is to sign up for an event at: https://events.berniesanders.com/. They are generally super beginner friendly and can walk you through the process in a lot more detail than I'm providing.
In general, try to never go negative on other candidates or directly disagree with the person you're talking to. It is far easier to convince someone when you highlight similarities and agree with them on issues. Even the most logical and cogent argument will fall flat if a person isn't receptive (and most people aren't).
Sorry for what turned out to be a text wall of stream of consciousness!
