In this challenge, students use the new Generative AI Text Effects feature in Adobe Express to introduce themselves at the start of the school year.

In this challenge, students use the new text-to-image generative AI feature in Adobe Express to create their own imaginative AI alter-ego.

This peer reviewed e-book is a must-read for nurses and other health professionals who strive to teach with creativity and excellence in clinical settings. Each chapter presents current evidence informed educational practice knowledge. Each topic is also presented with text boxes describing ‘Creative Strategies’ that clinical teachers from across Canada have successfully implemented. For those who are interested in background knowledge, the authors provided a comprehensive literature base. And, for those interested mainly in 'what to do,' the text box summaries offer step-by-step directions for creative, challenging activities that both new and experienced instructors can begin using immediately.

Graphic organizers assist the development of comparative vocabulary and generate discussions of analogy and metaphor in art as students go on a real or virtual tour of an art gallery.

Creative Notetaking LessonThis lesson is covers the 5th grade Science standard listed below. Students work through a creative notetaking notebook where they use a model, video, reading and simulation to learn how plants use air, water and energy from the sun to produce the matter they need to grow. This lesson can be asynchronous and can be virtual. It can also be something you do face-to-face with students. I took lessons and acitvities from Science lessons created and used by Granite School District. Standard 5.3.1Construct an explanation that plants use air, water, and energy from sunlight to produce plant matter needed for growth. Emphasize photosynthesis at a conceptual level and that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the soil.

After reading a short story, students use freewriting as a catalyst for a literary analysis essay.

Using books by Ezra Jack Keats as inspiration, students explore problems and solutions through read-alouds, discussion, and an interactive bulletin board.

In this movement lesson, students will use the ideas of shape (symmetrical and asymmetrical), stillness vs. movement and levels in space (high, medium and low) to move across the room.

In this video from The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, we learn that despite the efforts of Europeans to erase the identities of slaves, they created a new culture.

Students are exposed to wordless picture books and begin developing story lines, both orally and in writing, using an online, interactive story map.

As creators, we need to be aware of copyright law and the appropriate ways to use original work responsibly with fair use. Being a creator means giving credit where credit is due and getting credit for your original work!

Sabotage a play area and seek input from your child(ren) to help problem-solve a solution. Remove a preferred play item and ask them what they could replace it with. Ask them to tell you what they are planning to build and predict what the outcome will be. 

This is a lesson plan created by Copyright & Creativity for Ethical Digital Citizens.

Three examples of the hour-long 'Teachng The Spy Hop Way' teacher training, where Myke Johnson takes participants through the different philosophies of creative design and youth engagement. These techniques foster youth voice and empowerment, as well as creating a safe space for artistic exploration. Some of these tools include listening techniques, inquiry based learning structures and quick, fun activities that transform a classroom into a hands-on artistic learning environment.
