How - e.gs
An opportunity to create showed how I could use it with students. We had text options. We were tasked with reading the text and adding a recording to our slide. We then used an AI tool to illustrate. Here is my EG. a bit rushed but engaging for me so I feel it will increase the engagement for the tamariki. Analyzing and reflecting is the next step which allows for critical thought and using our discussion skills.
Tighter and looser
- ways to design Create-to-Learn
One minute video
We used guidelines to make a one minute video. Our goal was to sell a book. I used the slide record and the classic Hobbit.
I am looking forward to sharing this with the class and setting them off to do their own.
Longer create
Last week I went to a summit with Eugene sharing about using AI to support social stories in the form of a narrative.
Here he is again showing his skills and innovation. The sites are something I am champing to get onto. I am reusing and adapting resources but see great value in a website. So accessible for students and the community and a way to share with colleagues. Smarter not harder!
What will I adjust?
I feel I am a driver of creativity so the change will come with the students having more choice and agency in their own tools and tasks. I am usually pushing my own templates so letting them own will pay off. Aim for looser opportunities and offer a range of tools. I think I will try and present the next focus I have on a site to help engage, compile, store and rewind to make it visible.
