Apple's Everyone Can Create series a phenomenal resource that I have utilized in the past. If your school is 1:1 with iPads, you have to check these out! The only thing you need is your Apple ID. The books lead you through a series of lessons/activities where you create a creative project and also learn tips and tricks (or a basic how-to) of the different Apple Create Apps. I have also utilized this with students grades 4-5. They were able to follow the directions and complete the activities independently. This is one of my favorite Apple resources!

Lesson by Shaba Martinez for middle school class (Bruce Guadalupe Community School, Milwaukee)

Create acct. in Edmodo to see this OER lesson: This presentation is a basic introduction to visual notetaking or sketchnoting for students. During the presentation, students will watch an overview video, look at examples, and discuss the elements of sketchnoting. The presentation concludes with two practice exercises where students work on creating their first sketchnotes. Sketchnoting is a notetaking technique that students can utilize throughout the year and for different purposes in the classroom. Students can use sketchnotes to take notes on literary periods, histories of famous authors, visually represent the plot and analysis of a piece of literature or engage in listening to group presentations. This presentation is a Google Presentation, so in order to utilize it, you will need to make a copy by clicking on file<make a copy. Once you have your copy, you can edit or modify the presentation to fit your class.

I would create a lesson to 1. review copyright 2. show students how to find and properly cite resources for their class projects. CC is just one of many sites students can use to find resources for their work.
