- 36. Cultivating iPad Creativity Image Source: Remember…creativity is a learned skill. Provide students with choice (tool/app) or topic when appropriate. Use thinking by analogy strategies to see new possibilities. Inspire creativity by encouraging students to remix ideas, develop depth with familiar tools, and take time for “do overs.” Seek apps that can be used for more than one purpose; “open ended” with multmedia capabilities. “Teach creatively to teach for creativity!”

Notas del editor
- Welcome! I am Denise and I want to share with you my ideas for cultivating student creativity with iPads. First, I’d like to get our creative juices flowing a bit. (Hold up ball) What do you see here? (Do 3 times and toss out balls). Last one, hold up and say…I bought these and I keep one on my desk because to me it symbolizes what we want to do today…I think of it as my creativity seed . It reminds me that ideas need to be flexible, that they can be unusual looking, and
- Hmmm? Now this is something to ponder… I would like all the creative people in here today to stand up. Great! Thanks! So what about the rest of you????? Where are my Kindergarten teachers? (Address to K teachers). Kindergarten teachers, if you were to ask this of your students how many of them would raise their hands? Yes, probably all of them. Where are my upper-elem. teachers of say grades 4-6? (Address to UG teachers). Finally, any secondary teachers here? If you were to ask your students…how would they respond? It’s interesting isn’t it that somewhere along the line in our educational process we tend to lose the ability to see ourselves as creative. We believe that creativity exits only for a few SPECIAL or SELECTED individuals (like athletes) in SPECIFIC subject areas (like art or dance). Well, I became very interested in this idea after participating in some book studies recently and I’d like to share with you this morning a few ideas for cultivating creativity in the classroom using the iPad.
- So before we begin today, let’s build a little background. Exactly what is creativity?
- I used these four books today along with numerous web resources to try to answer this question and to pull together ideas for our session.
- One of the most respected “experts” in this area, Dr. Ken Robinson, in his book “Out of Our Minds” said these things about creativity. Notice the key elements include VALUE, WORK or DOING SOMETHING and MAKING NEW CONNECTIONS.
- In his book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the Future, Daniel Pink states that in order for U.S. students to be competitive with countries like China and India (whose top 10% are equal to the total number of students in U.S. schools) that our students have to hold the creative advantage. In a pure population numbers game, we can’t produce MORE engineers or scientists. Our students must be the creators, inventors, and innovators. We need to be developing students who generate original ideas and excel in problem solving.
- iPad is like the “swiss army” knife of technology tools. It is small, portable, and allows users to easily use a variety of built-in features or apps to create a variety of audio, video, and text products. As a teacher, we want the students to focus on the product and not the tool.
- I’d like to share a few examples with you…
- 1st grade classroom had a set of iPads and the teacher was eager to use them with her students. She asked the students to use the Doodle Buddy app to write a letter to Santa. She was rather disappointed with the results so we talked and came up with a different way to create Santa letters…
- This child’s creativity was truly enhanced when he used the right iPad tool. He did not have the skills needed to produce a lengthy letter using writing but his ideas flowed when he was permitted to express himself verbally. It’s not just about “using the iPad” It is using the right iPad tool or app to achieve the BEST results.
- April is National Poetry month and a campus with which I was working wanted to showcase some of the poetry that students were creating. We saw this idea on the Internet and in true teacher fashion, borrowed it and revamped it to meet our students’ needs.
- I threw this in as a reminder that the iPad isn't just about the APPS. There are many wonderful apps of course, but there are also some fabulous websites that can be used for content creation that are made more accessible with the iPad. This one, BigHuge Labs, is an oldie but goodie that we used long before we had iPads. It is much easier now to save our magazine images from the website to the camera roll to edit or enhance. This project has been used for several years to teach 4th grade GT students about persuasion in advertising, perspective, and photo editing.
- Rules for brainstorming: no criticism, quantity, elbaoration, hitchhiking is allowed, fluency and flexibility are all encouraged. The Private Eye is name of website for additional information
- 3 steps for looking closely, brainstorming, and changing perspective.
- Another creative thinking project that is made easier by the iPad. Blackouts poems were originall developed by Austin Kleon and used newspaper and magic markers. Messy and no “undo” feature. A very recent project, teacher I work with had students go to an online news site (Time for Kids) and examine the report on the State of the Union speech. Students then created their own “black out” poems. Providing a “twist” such as omitting words rather than adding them…inspires creativity. Note: A blackout poem starts the opposite of a regular poem which is a blank page. In this case, the page is filled with words and the poet removes the ones that do not convey the intended meaning.
- Visual Notetaking combines TEXT, IMAGES, and STRUCTURE to insert creativity into the mundane task of notetaking. Excited to be supporting a 5th grade science teacher who is going to try this with her students to help them prepare for the STARR assessments. Wanted a way to inspire students to review previously learned material. She is going to use flipped learning to assign a video and ask students to take notes on key concepts. Next day in class, students will discuss notes and create “sketch notes” adding text features for emphasis/hierarchy, sketches to help them remember, and structure to organize the scientific concepts or processes. I can’t wait to see their results!
- This example was created by middle schoolers who used techniques learned through visual note taking to create RSA animate style videos. They drew and recorded using video function on iPad, the brought into iMovie to speed it up and add recorded audio.
- Students were learning about percentages so they took polls to determine data and then created infographics in groups.
- Mini-research project where teacher asked students to choose a president and then to showcase major accomplishments or character traits.
- Finally, I would be remiss if I did not mention that the iPad supports creativity in MakerSpaces. Technology Tools such as the iPad when combined with creativity are essential elements for solving unsolvable problems. Apps that teach the foundations of coding, like Hopscotch, ScratchJr, and My Robot Buddy, allow students to create while solving problems. Ozobot takes it one step further by having a physical prototype. Watch! Use your creativity now and tell me what application you can see for your classroom. I think about 2nd grade with mapping skills and designing communities…
