About 400 people from across the globe joined the webinar. There were participants from the US, Iceland, South Africa and Argentina. I must admit, I was a little nervous but it helped that I couldn't see all those 400 people. Although it was a little strange, feeling like I was talking to myself since I couldn't see the participants. There was a chat box at the bottom of my screen so I could see people's thoughts and interactions. I only got distracted by the chat box a couple of times ;)
The recording of the webinar is available in Shutterfly's EdWeb community - Creating Multimedia Stories for Learning. The community is free to join. You'll have access to the recorded webinar and be informed of upcoming webinars as well. If you watch the webinar and answer a few questions, you can get a continuing education certificate.
During the webinar, I shared a lesson planning tool I created. I've shared it on this blog (and here) before but I wanted to share it again. I need a catchy name for this framework so let me know if you have any great ideas!
Start by identifying the standard you need to teach or that your students need to show mastery of.
Next, decide what mastery of those standards would look like. Present this to your students in a rubric. Remember, you are providing a framework, not a recipe. You want to give students the freedom to demonstrate their mastery in their own way. You are not telling them exactly what to do. "Why was Declaration of Independence was written?" vs. "Create a presentation on the 4 reasons the Declaration of Independence was written".
Finally, what tools could be used to demonstrate this mastery? For younger students you may want to give them a multimedia menu or choice board. Older students can choose their own tools. I love learning about tools from students!
If you attended the webinar or watched the recording, I'd love some feedback! I hope it was helpful!
It is important to reveal the creative potential of students because then they will have more opportunities. For example, a former student wants to get a job. He needs a resume (it's always possible to get help https://master-resume-writer.com ) He can make a simple resume and creative one. I think that with creative one he have more chances to get the job. A resume should demonstrate the uniqueness of the person.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I hope it will be helpful for too many people that are searching for this topic. Staying creative is so hard to. This challenge begins in school time, you write an application, essays, little poems. Without creativity even simple things can't be done anyway.
