This week going over create has reinforced for me as a new learner to actually creating digitally rather than just marking and commenting on those creations from students has been an eye opener. I realize how easy it is to get stuck on one idea or way of creating because that is what you know rather than exploring new and more interesting ways. This takes time that we don't necessarily give or have in class in one given year. So my thoughts are this needs to start earlier when students are in the junior school so that we are empowering them to be more creative each year.
I feel more confident already on being able to develop better digital creations which also means I feel I can be more helpful when it comes to empowering our students who may struggle in this area. The time it took me to do one simple create which was a Pick a Path was a learning curb. Do we give our students enough time to be creative or are we just wanting something done. while doing the Pick a Path I struggled with a plot. So I had to Google story plots and once I saw one that attracted my attention the writing was much simpler. This is a reflection for me on our students who may be good at literacy as this doesn't mean they will find ideas a simple task.
Blog you next week.
I really liked your pick a path options - It will lead to some good follow up writing tasks :)
