Creative Communicator – ISTE Student Standards
3 Stripes
What is creatively communicating?
“The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.” – Albert Einstein, Science
CREATIVE COMMUNICATOR STANDARDS
- Students choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired objectives of their creation or communication.
- Students create original works or responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations.
- Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models or simulations.
- Students publish or present content that customizes the message and medium for their intended audiences.
Teachers who build up creative communication in their classrooms help students to:
- “select specific tools for a digital project or product.”
- “use multiple digital sources of information.”
- “create their own digital artifact or project.”
