Hi friends at #CreateEdu! Looking forward to tonight's chat with @AdobeEdu and @ClassTechTips! Jennifer, from FL and Education strategist at @participate and fan of all things that inspire our students to be curious in learning!!!
A1: Injecting creativity in the classroom in my mind starts with establishing the classroom culture: safe spaces to take risks, explore, get silly, and play with ideas :) #createedu
A1: Avoid the one-size-fits-all by being less prescriptive, encourage individual thinking and make sure assignments allow for Ss to put their own stamp on their work. #CreateEDU
A1: All of us have two ears and one mouth. It starts by listening and acting responsively in the moment. That open mindset, combined with the right set of tools, can yield amazing results. #CreateEdu
A1) Terri Cullen Assoc Prof @oueducation We are working with Preservice teachers to inject creativity back into tech through open ended projects and personalized learning! #createEdu
Q2 : @AdobeSpark Video, Page and Post are powerful creation tools. How do can your students share their learning by creating movies, websites and graphics? #CreateEdu

what I like about @adobeedu projects is that students worry that our 1 to 1 iPad program does not prepare them for Chromebook schools - I love how @AdobeSpark translates across platforms. #createedu

Injecting creativity ... i teach US History ... love injecting the arts in there ... letting the kids play some music ... political cartoons ... using different means to show what they have learned. #createedu
a2) We allowed students opened ended choice which include @adobespark post to create graphics thanking donors and sharing impact for #ougivingday#createedu

A2 I have access to Macs so @AdobeSpark is not something I have integrated into the class, but the kids make videos. I have used it and I dig the concept ... maybe I should rethink the integration of it #createedu
A2: Very interested in the multimodal components that are part of learning with creating movies, websites, and graphics, especially in terms of literacy. Shared perspectives, opportunities for advocacy and campaigning, and all things storytelling! #createedu
A2: Our job in many respects is to get out of the way. The media ecology for most K-12 students is driven by video and digital interaction. They create, while we provide space, tools, feedback and institutional memory to guide them along. #CreateEdu
A2: Multiple modalities allow for all voices to be heard in the classroom and students seeing various ways expressed that could help their own understanding! #CreateEdu

A2: resources, ideas, rubrics, organizers here: https://t.co/XQWBI4LE8R
FREE - and even though these are from WeVideo - you can use them with any app. Respect to Adobe.

So we are going to try something new.. We are using @DoInkTweets and other video editor tools (@adobespark video) to create historical conversations using blackline master stick puppets. #CreateEDUhttps://t.co/4MCdb0tP4r Wish us luck!

RT ClassTechTips "A3: In the #STEM classroom, there are lots of ways to use AdobeSpark to have students "show what they know" https://t.co/D6FPoO8SaC#CreateEdu"
A2: I'd love to share more on @AdobeSpark with my #highered students! My class is Reading Across the Curriculum (humanities, science, math, etc). Any suggestions for best place they should start? #createedu
A3 #CreateEdu Everyone needs to communicate ideas and info--to start a business, to share lab data, to persuade voters. @AdobeSpark makes it easy to do so in relevant ways that resonate with an audience #edtechchat#medialiteracy
RT ClassTechTips "Q3 : How can you empower students as creators in every subject area? Including Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies, and beyond... #CreateEduhttps://t.co/RO3VLa1c83"
A3 combine content areas. Combine ELA with science where you have to research and charge what happened with an experiment. Technical writing is so important #CreateEdu
It comes back to individuality. In one school I saw 4th graders walking around to find things that represented "a quarter", a girl use her iPad to take a picture of 4 panes of glass in the door and recorded in @AdobeSpark Video "4 quarters = 1 whole". That's creative! #CreateEDU
Thinking we have to empower our kids is a crazy thought. Have you seen some of the stuff these kids are creating without our "empowerment"? Maybe we just need to do a better job tapping into their creativity. #createedu
Q4 : What goals do you have for using Spark in your classroom or school this year? Share an activity idea, or post a link to a project exemplar. #CreateEdu

A3: student video creation is perfect for math (why should Sal Khan have all the fun). Students can create, reflect, make it personal, teach it back for an audience. Here is an example:

a4) We use @adobespark video for class reflections - pictures of evidence with voiceover and then share via @flipgrid Helps to exemplify brevity #CreateEdu

@ClassTechTips, @AdobeSpark, @Flipgrid
Exactly! That's why whenever possible assignments should have room to play and to forge own path. Ss inevitably get into the "but is it right?" mode at some point, the longer we can postpone that the better. #CreateEDU
