Connection to Graduate Profile: Career and Life Skills
In Creative Communicator, we invite students to generate original content and repurpose online content as they create a variety of digital products to articulate complex ideas. Students leverage graphic and digital design principles, as well as peer and teacher feedback to improve the appearance, clarity, and effectiveness of their digital creations and customize content to meet the needs of diverse audiences. Students are prepared to meet the Graduate Profile by creating “compelling content in a variety of formats, including writing, speaking, and multimedia,” and “express[ing] themselves digitally.”
Use these resources to integrate digital learning and cultivate creative communicators in your classroom!
Video storytelling is great way to support research, analysis, and deeper learning.
Podcasting is a great way to support literacy, research, speaking and listening skills, as well as elevate student agency and voice.
Infographics are a great way to visualize data-driven arguments and support research.
Maps are great way to support visual thinking geographically. Insert text, images, videos, and more!
Presentations
Presentations are great way to demonstrate understanding and build public speaking skills!
Giving students choice in product is a great way to increase agency and engagement. Having students consider their audience and tailor the medium to their audience helps build mindsets relevant to fields like graphic design.
