Session description

Can our favorite social media platforms act as inspiration for student creations? Explore how you can use popular ways content creators share on social media to inspire student projects. Examine how students can create graphics, write captions and record videos related to their content with projects in all subject areas.

We will look at lesson ideas and ways to customize them for students, and participants will have opportunities to try out a workflow they can replicate in their own work with colleagues and students. This will include a look at templates and time-saving techniques.
