Welcome to our #CreateEdu chat! This week we are chatting about Creativity: Production and Contribution with @sonnymagana! Introduce yourself and where you're from.
Q1: Using a scale from 1-10, what do you think is the average impact technology has on achievement and why? Extra credit if you use John Hattie's size scale. #CreateEdu
A1: I think we are at a 4, personally. There is a lot of investment and attention towards technology investments. However, my fear is that not enough consideration is made to how to use the tools to truly transcend. #createedu

A1 #CreateEdu What are your metrics for student achievement? If its the ability to take multiple choice tests, then #edtech has low impact. If your metric is to transform learning with #PBL, authentic authoring and student voice, then impact is high. #edchat#medialiteracy

A2 #CreateEdu Most educators lack training, time and resources to integrate #edtech, or more often, are evaluated based on student test scores and traditional learning methods. That inhibits #innovation. #edchat#edtechchat
Using a scale from 1-10, the preponderance of research evidence compiled by @john_hattie shows the average impact of technology on student achievement is a measly 3. And this hasn’t changed in over 50 years. #createedu
A1.
- I teach social media & personal branding classes. In my classes, the impact is at least 8
- It's a myth to assume that our students, digital "natives", know how to use tech. they have to be trained and taught like all of us
- i can see big changes over time

Not an expert on this study or metrics. But I've always felt it was important to put learning objectives first, then find the right tool for the job. #CreateEdu
Amen! Cannot agree more with you! Changes in the classroom cannot happen without leadership buy-in & support
Teachers are already bombarded with so many things
#CreateEdu
Granted there are numerous challenges with achievement tests: bias, error, validity, reliability. However, would you agree that we need some consistent measure of student achievement in order to gain some idea of impact? #createedu
A2.
- No incentives to learn new things & grow
- Lack of leadership support in terms of training, resources, & recognition
- tech changes all the time. it is HARD work to learn how to integrate it well into teaching
#CreateEdu
a1: 1-10 this depends on a wide array of factors in a learning system - peer relations and collaborative goal structures, agency of learner, understanding of tool and constructivism (or Papert constructionism), culture, distributed learning, authentic audience, etc… #CreateEdu
YES!!! I completely agree with you on the myth of the #digitalnative. The research evidence simply doesn’t support that characterization. When left to their own devices, student use of #edtech is banal and trivial. #createedu
YES!!! That is one of many significant impediments to high impact use of #edtech. Stated another way, the variables you describe add to the #epidemic of #lowimpact#edtech use! #createedu
A3
- i am an advocate of using what we have & go deeper
- My favorite is @AdobeSpark that my students use to create articles, blogs, videos, graphics, etc
- i also use Facebook Group to build communities & have discussions
- And livestreaming to break class walls
#CreateEdu
YES!!!! We must always begin with clear learning intentions and success criteria. Make the intentions clear and student creativity will help them navigate a path towards mastery! That is a fundamental principle! #createedu
Amen, Sonny!
I hear that from my students every single day!
For example, many of my students have never @AdobeSpark before i tell them
in fall 18, i still have several students who have never heard of LinkedIn
#CreateEdu
a2: understanding of multimodality in literacy development, the long goals of product/project learning that accounts for a broader cognitive architecture, designing for distributed teaching/learning spaces, leveraging of “tool” in extending the reach of learners (ZPD) #createEdu
Agree! I also think that we need to move away from measuring students' ability to remember information and facts...but focus more on measuring characters, critical thinking, creativity, etc
#CreateEdu
A3. So sorry for jumping in a few minutes late! 👋🏻 #CreateEdu
-Social Media platforms (FB,Twitter and IG),
-@AdobeSpark for workshops, presentations and papers,
-@adobe Premiere Rush for storytelling (my PR class was part of the pilot program last fall).
Q4: If you were tasked with the moonshot opportunity of doubling student achievement over the next few years, what would be the first thing you would do? #CreateEdu
Yes. I LOVE using platforms that allow students to share their work publicly. it helps see the impact of their work
speaking of google doc, last year, i had a few students who had never used google doc before...

yeah, and I think it also important to realize Hattie’s megastudy is based on historical data, meaning reports on what has happened up until now with little accounting for “New Liberal Arts Technologies” (aka #DesignThinking) accounting for constant change #createEdu
All great #edtech tools. The key variable is not that #edtech tools are used, but HOW #edtech tools are used, and by whom! With proper guidance and scaffolding, student creativity flourishes as does their achievement! #createedu
And follow YOU, Michael!
My students absolutely love @AdobeSpark. i took quite a few screenshots of my students expressing their excitement for this amazing tool. haha

A4. I’d look for new opportunities and what has been done already that’s worked and then some new opportunities.
Biggest thing to give students is to empower them w/ real world experiences that allow them to showcase their creativity and stories. #CreateEDU

Hello and welcome, Chris! Thank you for your contribution to this chat! You are correct that there are many variables, and indeed a variance in impact, but the average impact of #edtech on #achievement is a 3 out of 10. #createedu
A4 #CreateEdu 1) Get rid of grades 2)College applications based on projects not test scores 3)Create collaborative cultures rather than competitive 4)Allow time for prototyping/revision instead of all-or-nothing evaluations #edchat#highereducation#designthinking#PBL@BIEpbl

Thanks for sharing that Chris! Do you think that teachers in other subject areas: ELA, Maths, Science, History, wield #edtech tools as effectively as they could? #LoadedQuestion#createedu
