Today we have been looking at creating in response to reading (and writing). Create is all
One thing that really stood out was the different tools we can use. In my class, I try and give them the opportunity to choose their tool (I tend to have a range of logos to spark their memory). And, depending on the task my instructions are either tight or loose. For reading, the small creates are usually tighter - aiming or focusing on something in particular. However, the end create tends to be looser with the children being able to add in their own part of creativity. For inquiry or R.E the create tends to be more learner chosen and open to interpretation of showing their understanding.
I love being able to offer these different create opportunities. My students are currently creating their own cathedrals that could be built in CHCH (as our one fell down in the earthquake). This is being done on Minecraft. The students had many options (including making a model using materials) but they chose Minecraft. As a child, I never had the opportunity for this, there was only one computer in the class that had to be shared. Nowadays, our students have access to their own devices. How crazy time has changed.
I have added below a couple of different sites that could be used in the classroom using AI. I used these websites to create this background for the poem.
HI Paige, Glad to see that although learn, create, share was something you were already doing well, we still had more to offer on our create day. I like the focus on create at apply their understanding. When we really focus in on the learning and have multiple opportunities to show this, I think it really helps our learners. Great that you have a range of tools for the students to choose from. Our kids can get a great sense of agency when we make these task open ended for them. I too am looking forward to seeing where we can harness AI for the students. The poem activity is a great place to start. How did it go in your classroom?
