    A1) Watch Ss access what they know differently from the Ss sitting next to them. Also, the more Ss are able to practice creativity the more empowered they will become. #AppleEduChat
  • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Studies show that must/art not only improve academic scores but generally positively impact brain function. #AppleEDUChat https://t.co/0TnVjNzmWg
    In reply to @WesMolyneaux
  • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A:1 To allow all students with different talents and skills to express themselves in ways that make sense to them. Students have powerful things to say and as educators we need to give them opportunities to develop their talents. #AppleEDUchat
  • Mrreiff Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1: There are a variety of ways to asses or students. When we allow them to express there understanding creatively, student can really show us that they “get it.” #AppleEDUChat
  • thebighop Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1: Student voice and self expression allows for a deeper learning experience. However, I see these activities being compartmentalized into computer classes or STEM classes, and not in regular ed classes. #AppleEDUchat
  • ryanorilio Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1: there are artistic opportunities within all subject areas, ways for students to personalize their experience and give it more meaning. #AppleEduChat
  • LindseySickler Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1: When working creatively, students can build their own connections with concepts. It also presents opportunities for collaboration and addressing larger audiences. #AppleEDUchat
  • myakSTEM Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1. All of these creative methods develop stronger learning connections and allow students to be more creative. It allows them to show what they learn in ways other than tests! #appleeduchat
  • DanKos3 Apr 10 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    A1. Personalized learning/assessment. When Ss can do things their way, they strive to be great because they own it. They take the assignment very seriously. #AppleEduChat
    • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:03 PM EDT
      Q1: Creative mediums such as music, drawing, filmmaking, and photography allow students to creatively express themselves. Why is it important to integrate these into every subject? #AppleEDUchat
  • joannavrteaches Apr 10 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1 students benefit from choices and opportunities to be collaborative and creative in all subjects. Motivating and engaging! #AppleEDUchat

    A1: Allowing students to express themselves gives you instant buy in. Kids LOVE being creative and many think of these mediums as fun and exciting, especially when compared to traditional pencil/paper writing. So excited about the new drawing features in the apps! #AppleEDUchat

  • alfredsiha Apr 10 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1: I find value in using creativity to process and reflect. Helps students engage differently after being immersed in academic writing #appleEDUchat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:07 PM EDT

  • teacherforest Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1 in an inquiry based approach model, creativity is one way for students to express their thinking in a multitude of ways and forms. Their expression is only limited by their ability to create artwork. #AppleEDUchat
  • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Also I’m a strong believer that the arts are a worthwhile instructional content piece on its own regardless of other academic benefits #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @WesMolyneaux
  • ryanorilio Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Creative expression allows each student to harness their own talents! Everyone is as expert at something! #AppleEduChat
  • terSonya Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: A lot of evidence coming from @LEGOfoundation that play and immersion in playful behaviors and a play-based state of creation is a catalyst for deeper learning. #play #AppleEDUchat #LEGOIdea2018
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Choice is so important! Each student has strengths in different areas and allowing choice allows them to find their voice in the medium that speaks to them! Doing this in EVERY subject builds confidence and abilities! :) #appleeduchat
  • Mrreiff Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I’ve never seen a student get excited to write an essay or take an exam. If you want to see REAL engagement, let students express their learning through the process of creation. #AppleEDUChat #EveryoneCanCreate
  • myakSTEM Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    You are so right. The own the learning and have a vested interest in showing what they know when they have a say in how they show it. #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @DanKos3
  • alfredsiha Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: AND think about what we do as Profs and Ts. When we need to get inspiration, we turn to other areas of interest: tech, music, getting outside, mechanical. Same value for Ss. Let them engage the other half of their 🧠#appleEDUchat
  • teacherforest Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 because all subjects needs a creativity aspect. It makes the lesson or the subject livelier and not to technical. It makes difficult concepts easier to grasp, apply and understand. #AppleEDUchat
  • AprilRequard Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Creative mediums such as these allow students to really dive into showing what they know. It allows students to design, take risks, experiment, and have fun. It's the way every student should have the opportunity to learn. #AppleEDUchat
  • cicohen Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Hi #AppleEDUChat! Casey here - dir. of technology innovation & STEM Programs @RoseTreeMedia outside of Philly! So excited for tonight’s topic!
  • trendingedtech Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: regurgitating info isn’t a great way to measure inquiry or passion - creating things fits there instead. #AppleEDUchat
  • KristenSevinsky Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: because when you look st something from a diff angle, you learn it diff. Like I drew a 7 sided snowflake once . #AppleEduChat
  • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    I agree, engagement and application to their own lives are key to student focus and retention #AppleEDUchat

    Noel from Philippines, will try to participate while in transit :-) #AppleEDUchat

    I am doing this with a class right now. 90% hands off from me. They are so invested. #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @myakSTEM
  • KristenBrooks77 Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 Giving students a chance to use their own choice and voice to ‘Show What They Know’ opens up a plethora of creative options that my student crave! #AppleEDUChat @WildcatsWES #wesipadlab
  • joeymitchell01 Apr 10 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1. It allows them to creatively make the work their own and thus truly learn and show true knowledge. #appleeduchat
  • ryanorilio Apr 10 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    I must agree. #appleeduchat
    • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:08 PM EDT

    PREACH! :) Yes! I agree! #ArtTeacher #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @ryanorilio
  • marcdrumm Apr 10 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 It gives a chance for those who excel at the arts to truly shine and be themselves. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and we’ll never see some of those strengths if we keep recycling the same old assignment formats. #AppleEDUchat
  • AprilRequard Apr 10 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Totally. I can see more of what a student knows than I ever would on a written exam. #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @Mrreiff
  • KMillerSAIL Apr 10 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    So true! Asked my group to create a 1-2 minute #ClassroomClips reflecting on our time together. One Ss “accidentally” made a 7 minute Clip. His work was too important to edit out!! #AppleEduChat

  • alfredsiha Apr 10 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Arts for arts sake! #AppleEDUchat #EveryoneCanCreate
    In reply to @seanmarnold, @WesMolyneaux
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Agreed! And often these areas are seen as "secondary" to core classes. Incorporating them shows students that there is value in the arts as well! :) #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @marcdrumm
  • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Also it’s the highest level of Bloom’s taxonomy-kids are more challenged and learning more by creating #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @trendingedtech
  • myakSTEM Apr 10 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    And in an ironic twist, we are giving our state assessments this week. You can feel the difference in the building from just last week. #AppleEDUchat

  • AprilRequard Apr 10 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Q2: How can you bring drawing into the subject(s) you teach? Share examples. #AppleEduChat

  • kheiladunkerly Apr 10 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Yes and when it is their own...they will be more invested and make deeper connections! #appleeduchat
    In reply to @joeymitchell01
  • theipodteacher Apr 10 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: any time we allow kids to take control of their own learning and demonstrate that in ways we may not have envisioned...we have a WIN! #AppleEDUchat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    YES! Couldn't agree more! I always thought about this when I was in college....if creating is at the top, why are the arts often at the bottom of our systematic educational focus? #AppleEDUchat
    • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:11 PM EDT

    A1: I also like to follow @neilhimself 's advice and Make Good Art. Inspired by @austinkleon and the late Amy Krouse Rosenthal to adopt a maker mindset - and to share my love of making with my kids #AppleEDUchat https://t.co/vyBtxU4KYO
  • cicohen Apr 10 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: @DrHowardGardner’s multiple intelligence theory says we are intelligent in different ways - integrating these mediums allows for Ss to explore different intelligences, and understanding how they can use them to communicate. #AppleEDUchat
    • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:03 PM EDT
      Q1: Creative mediums such as music, drawing, filmmaking, and photography allow students to creatively express themselves. Why is it important to integrate these into every subject? #AppleEDUchat
  • ryanorilio Apr 10 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    These type of mediums also take away a lot of the negative stigma with failing. Students learn the growth mindset. #appleeduchat
    • AprilRequard Apr 10 @ 9:09 PM EDT
      A1: Creative mediums such as these allow students to really dive into showing what they know. It allows students to design, take risks, experiment, and have fun. It's the way every student should have the opportunity to learn. #AppleEDUchat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: I teach art, so it is already there, but a new/different way I'm using it is through sketchnotes! Working to give kids an understanding of how to use art in every subject! :) #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @AprilRequard
  • seanmarnold Apr 10 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: diagramming, charts, brainstorming visualizations-also for my students who struggle with literacy-drawing their understanding is part of differentiation #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @AprilRequard
  • LLacrosse Apr 10 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Hi all! A2: Drawing, sketching, making murals in science...it all allows for deeper understanding. #visualmeaning + #content = #brainfood #AppleEDUChat
  • supervxn Apr 10 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: It fosters skills needed to succeed in other subjects. I think that's why they invented STEAM #AppleEDUchat
  • teacherforest Apr 10 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2 sketch noting! I love how our notebooks were redesigned to have one part devoted to drawing or sketch noting and the other half for notes itself. #AppleEDUchat
  • MrsKemper Apr 10 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1 When I think about integrating creativity into core content, I think of my friend @WickedDecent - to him it's like Frank's Red Hot Sauce. #AppleEDUchat
  • myakSTEM Apr 10 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2. My engineering and app dev students start their designs with drawings. No code, no software, no building (yet!). Get the idea out of their head and on paper so they can have conversations. #appleeduchat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: As an art teacher, drawing is already integral in my classroom, but I also work with teachers to bring drawing into their rooms as well! Whether that is in historical portraits, plant diagrams, learning landscapes, or something completely different! :) #AppleEDUchat
  • DanKos3 Apr 10 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2. Does drawing diagrams and models, graphs, and conclusions work? I teach science and this is most of the drawing we do. Once in a while they draw what’s at the end of a microscope. In the current #PBL unit, Ss are drawing components of stories and games. #AppleEDUchat
  • teacherforest Apr 10 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2 when I have students reflect on learning I tell them to draw a symbol or icon that best represents their understanding of the day’s lesson. #AppleEDUchat
  • MiaLMorrison - Moderator Apr 10 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2 My Ss are composing their essays on Catcher in the Rye using Pages book templates and drawing their observations on Holden’s character development #AppleEDuchat
  • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:15 PM EDT

    This summer, @tbc4k will be offering a course for kids on Video, Music, Photography, and Drawing - inspired by Apple’s newly-released #EveryoneCanCreate curriculum! #AppleEDUchat
  • alfredsiha Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: rather than have student write a response to a prompt or an outline to an essay, have them draw it. Visually possible to show cause and effect relationships, for example. #appleEDUchat
  • MrsKemper Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 I'm pushing effective study/learning strategies... first up: Dual Coding & I'm using sketchnoting as the vehicle (in all subject areas and all levels). #AppleEDUchat
  • terSonya Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Q2: I like to model thinking through drawing with my kids. Huge fan of iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. Sketchnoting in front of kids is daunting but helps them to develop that visual skill too. #AppleEDUchat
  • AprilRequard Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    I just finished working with students to illustrate a portrait of the person who inspired their favorite quote. They drew the photo, wrote the quote, and imported into Clips. Drawing brought their project new life. https://t.co/GqZxP8ucrG #AppleEDUchat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Maybe look at sketchnotes! They're good for kids' brains/memory and a fun way to incorporate art in your room! :) It's a win-win....they enjoy it and it helps learning! So fun they will forget they're learning from it! :) #AppleEDUchat
    In reply to @DanKos3
  • trendingedtech Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 : we concept sketch everything! Planning documents, models, web layouts, you name it. We don’t use lined notebooks for class notes either - need the freedom! #AppleEDUchat
  • theipodteacher Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: Allowing drawings and sketches again created ownership. When you don’t have to steal from the Googs you have a sense of accomplishment and pride! #AppleEDUchat #MagicMoveChallenge
  • ryanorilio Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: I recently taught students about sketch notes as a learning tool. We practiced with a couple Ted talks. Now a few use the method on a regular basis. #AppleEduChat https://t.co/uiWrf5lZBx
  • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: Students in my anatomy classes would draw different Hominid skulls to help them make better observations and compare and contrast the skull shapes. #AppleEDUchat

    A2) 10 minute drawing challenge first thing each morning. In our 6 weeks together they let go of negative personal critiques! At 1st they ask for only 1 minute by the end they will go back to their drawing when they have free time. #AppleEDUchat
  • kheiladunkerly Apr 10 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2 Sketchnoting-Great for learners of all ages. Allows them to make meaning! Here is an example of a 4th grade S sketching their knowledge using the Notes app. #appleeduchat
  • teacherforest Apr 10 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2 drawing helps students personalize their learning. Greater chance of retention versus normal note taking #AppleEDUchat

  • MrsKemper Apr 10 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    I love to use TED talks as practice for sketchnoting! Lately, I've used Todd Rose's talk The Myth of Average in my PL because the message impacts a wide range of educators. #AppleEDUchat

    A5: video is embedded in everything, as said we film the iterative process of creating physical design projects that are linked to the final product. We also have an annual student film festival that I organized #AppleEDUchat

    A5: I like to think of film as a way to integrate all of the media we’ve been talking about l. Last year I had My seniors write the story of legacy they wanted to leave the school. They had to include original projects, photographs, and musics to show their story. #AppleEDUChat
  • WesMolyneaux Apr 10 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A5: Want to help students find why they have error in their science experiments? Have them film the experiment and then compare process with other groups. #AppleEDUchat
  • BrianWTimm Apr 10 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A5: You can do absolutely anything with film making for various content areas. I'd love to coach an educator how learners can create their own TED Ed style videos for interesting discoveries. Like Earth's circumference! https://t.co/CsUoTuHu7A #AppleEDUChat
  • bethany_nugent Apr 10 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A5: Part of our curriculum is "telling a story through art" and I love using video for this! The kids can think through their regular art concepts, plus time and sound, and create true stories that feature their art. #AppleEDUchat

    A5: in drive thru at KFC, so I don’t have an example right now. But in history Ss will film with Green Screen and insert themselves in a location such as the Great Wall. Have even created historical newscasts of assasination of Julius Caesar. #AppleEDUChat

  • joannavrteaches Apr 10 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A5 show what you know! Filmmaking is great for applying knowledge and sharing authentically. Ss go above and beyond to demonstrate mastery. Filmed science experiments, added to @BookCreatorApp and created year long science journals with virtual write ups. #AppleEDUchat

  • WallerALPHApack Apr 10 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: I haven't tried this myself on the iPad but observed it...record/tell a story in three different groups, one assigned beginning, middle, and then end. Each group travels with the iPad to tell their piece of the story, no-one knows how it will look until done. #AppleEDUChat

    A5 documentaries for social studies projects. My students also did some Vlogs as formative assessments @flipgrid is the perfect examples. #AppleEDUchat
  • marcdrumm Apr 10 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5 It’s one of the main ways our distance students can work together synchronously - connect using a videoconferencing tool like FaceTime or Zoom and record while everyone works together to make a presentation. #AppleEDUchat
