Develop Creators, Not Consumers in 2024
A Few CREATE-ive Ideas:
Instead of students researching a topic, have them create a website about it.
Instead of a presentation, have students create a video.
Instead of giving a lecture, have students create an infographic.
Instead of giving students data to work with, have them collect, organize, and create a graph to display it.
Instead of having students write a paper, have them write a script and create a radio broadcast that recites it, or write and sing a song.
Instead of just having students write about an invention, have them create a design of it.
Instead of just having students journal about their favorite vacation, have them create a map of it inserting pictures and captions.
Instead of having students answer questions about an experiment, have them create a tutorial of the process.
Instead of having students do 20 problems for homework, have them create a recording of them explaining 2.
Instead of giving students study guides, have them create a test.
