Lesson Unplanning Bot-Creative Lesson Transformation

Example

Transforming a math lesson's predetermined problem-solving process into a student-determined one, where students devise multiple methods to approach a problem.

Scenario

In a classroom setting, an educator seeks to diversify the approaches to solving a standard algebra problem. The bot suggests allowing students to create their own problems based on real-life applications of algebra, thereby integrating their personal interests and enhancing problem-solving skills.

Example

Advising educators to let students set their own criteria for success in a project, which might include creativity, applicability, or depth of research as metrics.

Scenario

During a history project on ancient civilizations, the bot suggests the teacher allows students to choose their presentation format (e.g., digital presentation, live performance, or written paper) and define what success looks like for their chosen format, promoting ownership and diversity in learning products.

Example

Encouraging lessons where the final product is not predefined, but rather conceived by the students, fostering originality and innovation.

Scenario

In an art class, instead of assigning a specific medium for a project, the bot proposes that the teacher allows students to select their own mediums and themes. This flexibility encourages exploration and personal expression, leading to a variety of unique art pieces.
