Creative Transform (CT) sits at the Creative row and Transform column of the PICRAT grid. Below: real Geography lessons for KS4 that classify as CT, plus anti-examples that look CT but are not.
360-degree virtual tour with student commentary
Year 10
· 200 min
· 1 device per student
Each student builds a 360-degree virtual tour of a fieldwork site (could be physical visit using a 360 camera, or a remote site using existing 360 imagery). The tour has waypoints with the student's audio commentary explaining geographical features, processes and human-environment interactions. They publish to a class showcase.
AR story-map of a local urban regeneration project
Year 10
· 240 min
· 1 device per student plus AR-capable phone
Each student builds an AR story-map of a local urban regeneration project (e.g. a redeveloped high street, a new housing estate, a converted dock). The map has waypoints; at each waypoint a viewer points their phone camera and sees a virtual overlay of "before" imagery, current data, and the student's voice-over interpretation. Students walk the class through their map at the actual location.
Interactive web page comparing two contrasting climates
Year 11
· 200 min
· 1 device per student
Each student builds an interactive web page comparing two contrasting climate zones (e.g. tropical rainforest vs hot desert, polar vs temperate). The page must include embedded interactive charts (rainfall, temperature, biodiversity), tap-to-reveal text explaining each chart, and a recommendation panel for which climate they would prefer to live in and why.
