The sixth ISTE Standard for Students is "Creative Communicator." This standard guides students to communicate clearly and express themselves creatively using various digital tools. It involves understanding how to choose the right tools and formats for their message and audience and how to use these tools to enhance their communication.
The standard encourages students to express complex concepts in a manner that will be clear and concise for their intended audience. They practice breaking down information and presenting it in ways that are easy for others to understand. Additionally, students learn to communicate and collaborate with others, both within our school and around the world. This involves using digital platforms to share ideas, provide feedback, and work together on projects.
In today’s world, digital communication is an essential skill. By mastering the Creative Communicator standard, our students learn how to effectively share their ideas and collaborate with others. Elliott Elementary students use tools including Wixie, Google Slides, Flip, and Seesaw to create engaging slide shows, videos, essays, podcasts, GIFs, posters and more. Developing skills like these are not only vital for academic success but also for their future careers and personal growth.
Fostering these skills in our students empowers them to become confident and capable communicators and prepares our students for a successful future in the rapidly evolving digital world.
