Creative student voice connects content to creativity. Students engaged in student voice activities actively use a variety of resources and methods to explore content and share their learning with authentic audiences.Student voice should not be restricted to the traditional presentation that is simply a display of copied images and connected text. Student presentations, class discussions, writing, and drawings are all great methods to engage students in our classrooms, but they cannot be the only way Future-Ready Teachers and Students engage in the content.


Today I wanted to share a collection of #EdTech resources that my PLN has helped me organize connected to creativity and student voice.

The best student activities support the development of different skills through a variety of different digital media resources. These media resources can include images, text, audio, interactive components, and video. 


We’ve selected and categorized some of our PLN’s favorite resources to support Creative Student Voice in this document.



Most of the resources in the document have interactive help tutorials built into the resource. Additionally, if you need help, a quick YouTube search will provide some nice tutorials for teachers and students.


We’ve also put together a creative visual design challenge document connected to some Google resources. These challenges could be adapted for any classroom or professional development experience.

If you are looking for even more resources to support creativity, please visit this resource document.



Special thanks to my PLN for communicating many of these valuable resources. If you have an idea or resource to share, please consider adding to the comments below. #HappyLearning

All About Me - Heart Maps to Start the Year

I am always looking for creative ways to get to know my students. I also love creative ideas that we can use to introduce them to some of the tools we use throughout the year. The past several years I have modeled our use of Padlet with a 7 Pictures – All About Me Project. This year I was inspired by  Marwa Elkelani to try something a little different. We are going to start with some Heart Maps and get some practice with Google Drawings or Google Slides. A heart map is a visual map that uses drawing, text, shapes, and images to share feelings, people and places you love, memories, experiences, and more. These can be created on paper or digitally. I think Canva , Adobe Express , Google Drawings, or Google Slides could all be used to facilitate the creation of these digitally.
