1/27/2024 0 Comments Illuminate student![]() If you think about it, we all take more pride in our work when we have an option on how we share the information.īefore I present a seminar or a workshop for teachers, I always ask my students for their thoughts on topics I should bring up and discuss with my audience. Students take more ownership and pride in a project when their choice is taken into account. Do they want to try their hand at creating a game to demonstrate their grasp of a subject? How about a tweet? All good. Would they prefer to create a visual presentation using a sketchnote, mind map, or another tool? Great. Do they like to write essays? Let them go for it. Through meaningful tech integration in the classroom, teachers can offer their students more choices for demonstrating what they’ve learned. To illustrate the aims of this book and the goals of a creative classroom, I created a handy acronym that will appear as a reminder throughout the chapters:Ĭhoice, Relevance, Evidence, Assessment, Tech, Engagement = CREATE My area happens to be high school social studies, but teachers of all subjects and all age groups can apply these tools and strategies to the needs of their own classrooms. In the following chapters we’ll explore the many tools available: how to access them and how to use them, with examples of creative projects for each. Fortunately, learning and teaching these techniques is exciting, and using the wealth of internet tools specifically designed for teachers in the classroom makes sharing, experimenting, creating, and learning a dynamic experience. Every subject area and every career, from the sciences to business to education and the arts, now relies on a sound fluency in tech skills. Today, creativity in the classroom can, but doesn’t have to be, linked with technology. When we’re not limited to handing out a single repetitive assignment to thirty students and when students have a choice in how best to demonstrate what they’re learning-stand back and watch the fireworks. IntroductionĪs every teacher knows, dynamic things happen in a creative classroom. Thank you for raising me to believe I can do anything. Thank you for your continuous love, support, and encouragement. I am incredibly proud of you and so thankful to be your mommy.
