CREATIVITY- Out of the Box

 Amie Williams 

How can we get our learners working harder than us?
M- multi modal 

A- amplification 

P- personalisation

I- interaction 

C- coherence 

Allow students to be Free Range - make choices themselves on creative ways to present their mahi. 

Slide 9 has some great ideas on how you can apply MAPIC to students Digital Learning Objectives 

Using Podcasts: great way to allow students to share their passions or to share something they have learned. Could be an awesome way to connect with our Local Curriculum (interviewing people in our community). Can use as a follow up task - listen and feedback, book review, video review etc. 

Scratch is something that I currently use in my classroom, I really like the idea of once you have shared on your blog and received feedback to then go and create a version 2.0. This get students to take a step back and actually action and reflect on the feedback they have received. 

Creating interactive google drawings: We use google draw quite often to share our new learning in Te Kahu, I really like the idea of using a google draw to then link into other mahi. Can link in many different areas of learning- make it transdisciplinary. 

Sharing expertise by creating a screen castify of the task you are completing. This would be a great way to incorporate Tuakana- Teina.

How can we empower our tamariki to be more creative? 
Giving students 'free range' to create using tools that reflect their passion, also tools that challenge them. Trying new things. 

JAMBOARD of create ideas. 
Slide 8 has a spreadsheet that can be used to scaffold students create tasks. 

This was an awesome session that gave me some ideas on how I can better facilitate create  in my classroom. It is always fun to share ideas and tools with other teachers and to also reflect on my own practice.
