DT Courses - Create with Creative Cloud

Introduction

Throughout this CLC, we will be working together, collaborating and sharing ideas with each other. This helps us learn and perfect our craft. We want this type of collaboration to be engaging! One of our greatest hopes is that you not only share with and learn from your colleagues, but also (maybe more importantly) that you learn about various other avenues for more learning/growth on your own.

Those who worked to create this CLC are by no means the experts in everything, especially the content that each of us teach. There are always (hopefully!) people who know more than we do that we can learn from.

Podcasts and Twitter are great ways to learn from others, share work and get feedback. Think globally - you are not limited to just your RCSD colleagues, friends who may teach in other districts, family members who may not live in Rochester, etc. Imagine being able to connect with educators from around the world!

Add hashtags to your Twitter posts to get more people to see it! Tag other educators who can provide feedback or share to a larger audience.
Find a great podcast to listen to while driving to work and learn a new idea or skill!

We want you all to use this opportunity to expand our knowledge of opportunities for more learning as well as to grow your own Personal Learning Network (PLN)!

Learn/Create

What is Adobe Creative Cloud?

Adobe Creative Cloud is everything students and teachers need to confidently create standout graphics, photos, presentations, videos, and webpages to express themselves inside and outside the classroom.

The videos below will give you an introduction to Adobe Creative Cloud Express as well as an understanding of how students can create original artifacts about their learning.

Data Driven Personalization

The PAACC framework is a great guide to more student centered classrooms. It stands for Agency, Authenticity, Connectivity and Creativity, with a focus on data driven instruction. We believe that Screencastify student videos is a great tool that can utilize a few of these components.

As you work through creating an activity for your students, and they work to complete it, think about which components you are seeing throughout this learning experience.

Create Assignment for Students

Now it is time to get started and create your first Creative Cloud Activity for your students!

For tutorials to learn the basics of Adobe Creative Cloud or refine your skills click here

For tutorials how to create graphics, video, or a website click here. (you can share these with your students as well!)

Click here to search for a lesson or you can create your own!

You will find Adobe Creative Cloud in ROConnect inside the "Creation Tools" folder.

What activity can you create so that your students will submit their own Cloud Express design to you as their work product?

In the following discussion, you will share your a brief description of the activity you created, including a screenshot of it posted for students to access in your Google Classroom or in eLearning (whichever LMS you use)

Please start a post and include the following information about your assignment:

Please start a post and include the following information about your assignment:
State grade level and subject
Describe the activity in a few sentences.
Include a screenshot of your assignment posted in either Google Classroom, Seesaw or eLearning for your students to access.

Read through your colleague's posts and engage in reflective collegial discussion.

Ask probing questions, answer questions that others have, expand on ideas, agree or disagree (include why), provide helpful suggestions etc.
Use your discretion on a number of times to post, however, discussions are not one and done. You'll need to revisit this discussion to see what other ideas have been added.

Implement & Reflect

Implement Screencastify Submit & Collect Artifacts

Now that you have created your Creative Cloud Activity and posted to get feedback from colleagues, it's time to use it with your students! Watch the videos on how to post the template you created for your students and how students will access the template to complete.

Now that you have created your Creative Cloud Activity and posted to get feedback from colleagues, it's time to use it with your students! Below you will find videos on how to post the template you created for your students and how students will access the template to complete.

As your students work through your activity, collect the artifacts of their work. Remember, you will want to include:

Taking pictures or videos of students working on the activities
Gathering links of students submitted Creative Cloud projects

Classroom Implementation Reflection

Reflect on implementation of the activity: what went well, what can be improved, and what support you might still need.

Include some artifacts- at least one link to a student project, and if possible, images/videos of students working.

Answer this question: What component of data driven personalization was evident in the student work and how does it support student learning?

Read through your colleague's posts and engage in reflective collegial discussion.
