Story is often used to understand the complexities of human nature and our similarities. Tacy reconnects with Claudio Zavala Jr., Digital Designer at Burleson Independent School District and Adobe Creative Cloud Express Ambassador, to explore how creative storytelling can help build community.  The pandemic has left students feeling isolated from their peers as many continue to navigate remote and hybrid learning environments. As an education influencer and former educator, Claudio shares how using digital tools such as Creative Cloud Express can help students tell their stories in ways that nurture empathy among their classmates, while creating culture and building community within their schools. He also demonstrates how we can spark creativity among students and hone their storytelling skills using creative “About Me” assignments.   Connect with Tacy on Twitter @tacytrow and Claudio Zavala Jr. @ClaudioZavalaJr. Please share ideas for future episodes and guests at creativeedu@adobe.com.

Looking to delve into creating AR/VR content Claudio – creativity tools Adobe SPARK (https://spark.adobe.com/sp/) Susan – On my recent trip to FETC I focused on ways to curate resources and using visual thinking to encourage student engagement and enhance lesson planning. In recent years I’ve focused a lot on efficient use of GSuite tools and on Personalized Learning. What topics should Tech Coaches be teaching?Top 10 lists vs School Based Examples RFP’s that get you accepted every time and bring in a crowd Claudio – Time off from work – adds value to the district Susan – Efficiency, organization, and productivity. Often teachers get overwhelmed with all the apps available and even just simple clutter in their Google Drive. Showing them efficient and productive ways to handle this is huge. Keeping Professional Development alive in the district as the summer approaches When should you stop providing PD? Claudio – struggle is getting teachers there. No stipend or incentive makes it difficult to get teachers there Claudio – relevant & interactive. Keep teacher engaged. Susan – echo Claudios points. Keeping in alive and engaging. My coworker and I are looking at ways to take our summer PD as well as a lot of our regular PD online via Google Classroom and Canvas modules. How to build effective online professional development? Should we do online learning modules?Claudio – on demand seems to work. I participated in DitchSummit by Matt Miller & feedback I received was they can participate any time, in pajamas Susan – I have had huge success with my own tutorial videos. Yes, teachers can look up a youtube video for a question they might have, but if we as the coach make an engaging video to have on hand they, like students, appreciate our voice and delivery. Best Applications to useClaudio – Google Classroom, Teachable, YouTube, WordPress plugins Susan – Google Classroom, Canvas, Screencastify, YouTube Channel Keeping track of teacher learningClaudio – many online course tools have automatic tracking. Our district uses Eduphoria which is somewhat clunky. Looking at new resources in future. I believe some LMSs have built-in tracking. Susan – We are definitely exploring resources for tracking. The most reliable way that’s worked thus far in a former district I’ve worked is the use of Google form and the add-on Autocrat.

Sean: “Make sure you are designing lessons to ensure students are creating.” Teacher created websites for showcasing exemplary work Google Sites - sites.google.com Weebly - education.weebly.com Sean: “Are we creating an environment that students feel confident in their creations and can share openly and get feedback. The students should know that the work they do adds value to others learning and understanding?” Students need to have opportunities and choices to create with freedom of expression. Google Drawings activity: Everyone follows the teacher’s spoken instructions (i.e., “use the line tool, now draw a rectangle”), then show how each student’s creation is unique. - drawings.google.com Sean: “It doesn’t mean they are wrong...but everyone is different and we all add value to the learning in my classroom.” Student Digital Portfolios Example of one of Jake’s old student digital portfolios - youtube.com/watch?v=MLtX04MMimI Jake: “It is important that portfolios aren’t just showing off the amazing work, they’re showing off the amazing growth.  And to do that, you have to say ‘This is the work that I started with and it’s not perfect and these are the things that are not great about it. This is the work that I’m doing now and this is the growth that I’ve seen.’” Question #2: How can educators ensure that all students get an opportunity to be heard and have the opportunity to share?

His #singasong grid, which is approaching its one year anniversary, has been viewed 33,732 times with over 600 responses and well over 600 hours of engagement!

In this special episode, I sit down with Claudio Zavala Jr. to discuss his contributions to the Educational and EdTech world including, #singasong. If you're unfamiliar with #singasong, it's a very innovative way he has incorporated Flipgrid to spread some #positivenoise around the globe. If you'd like to know more about it, listen to this episode. He's come a long way on his educational journey and has taught various grade levels and now serves as an Instructional Technology Coordinator. We share many similarities being that we're both born and raised in San Diego, California and both graduated from San Diego State University. We probably crossed paths in the past but never realized it. Now, we're recording a podcast together discussing two passions of ours, educational technology and west coast eats. This was definitely a fun episode and conversation that continued even after I hit the "Stop" button.  Don't take my word for it though, check it out for yourself. Don't forget to follow Claudio on Twitter and share your voice using #singasong. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, share it with others, and leave a review. As always, enjoy and buen provecho!

*It wasn’t until later in my career that I realized applying creativity to problem-solving is critical in engaging students.* *Claudio Zavala Jr.* ( https://iamclaudius.com/ ) *and* *Fred Benitez* ( https://twitter.com/fredbenitez?lang=en ) *don’t just understand that component of the learning cycle. They also use it to train teachers and students. Both of them inspire my growth as an educator.* *Claudio Zavala, Jr. and Fred Benitez are renowned educational technologists, in Burleson ISD and Eanes ISD respectively, that develop training for teachers, staff, and students. Both are Adobe Education Leaders and have presented at education conferences like* *ISTE* ( https://iste.org/ ) *,* *TCEA* ( https://tcea.org/ ) *, and* *Adobe for Education* ( https://www.adobe.com/education.html ) *.* *In this episode, we discuss the importance of being creative in teaching and problem-solving. We discuss why it’s important to take bite-sized or “Chicken Nugget” opportunities to incorporate creativity into the learning cycle — with or without electronic devices. We also discuss how tools like Adobe Spark lower the barrier for designing beautiful graphics, web pages, and video stories in minutes. Adobe Spark is an excellent tool for remote and face-to-face learners to show mastery of learning objectives. What I like even more is that these learning tools can be used by all students from kindergarten through 12th grade.* Copyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/b9bb917b Copyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/6cd0b356 Copyright Chillhop Music - https://chll.to/fae889b3
