Creative Expression Through Media
Technology in the Classroom
Great technology not only gives kids tools to create, but it also empowers and inspires them.
What kinds of things have you created with technology?
What kinds of things have your students created?
Today we will not only look at a rationale for using technology to empower the creative spirit, but also some of the tools and apps out there that could be used effectively.

There is a lot of talk about digital literacy, but unless we allow our students and ourselves the opportunity to creat information, they won't ever fully understand.

Communicating

Creating
Thinking critically about what they're doing and learning
When students are using creative skills to develop projects and products, these skills often come naturally.
What do I need to communincate to my audience? Who can I work with? What resources do I need? What is the best tool for the project or product I want to develop? How can I get my ideas across?
Who can help me?
Others? What do you think?

Technology increases the sophistication of products
I remember (41+ years) the projects and products of years ago. Not very sophisticated compared to what we can accomplish today. The visual realm has exploded with the use of web resources, digital cameras, iMovie, Vine, Facebook. We share more and more. Students can create polished projects and media that can easily compete with those of many adults.
What about in your world?

Ownership
How do students feel after creating a new product or project? Pride, sense of ownership? Proud enough to be willing to share with the world?

Personal
With media, it's much easier to add the personal touch. Students can take their own photos to add to projects. They can create their own movies to share. Blogs can be used to communicate with parents or other students.

Plagiarism
Problem: easy to copy and paste. But if you can Google the Answer, it isn't a good question or assignment.
If students start an investigation with a question or problem to solve, the plagiarism issue will be much diminished.
New problem - copying of photos, other material from the Internet.
New tools like Easy Bib, Photopin (gives credit info)
and Google apps, where the search will even insert the credits for you as you insert the photo.
