Thinking about Educational Technology and Creativity
Spector, J. Michael
Educational Technology, v56 n6 p5-8 Nov-Dec 2016
The 2016 National Educational Technology Plan mentions fostering creativity, collaboration, leadership, and critical thinking while engaging learners in complex, real-world challenges through a project-based learning approach (see http://tech.ed.gov/netp/learn ing/). The Partnership for 21st Century Learning (P21; see http://www.p21.org/about-us/our-history) places emphasis on creativity and innovation (see http:// www.p21.org/about-us/p21-framework/262). Anderson and Krathwohl's (2001) revision of Bloom's taxonomy places creativity at the top of the cognitive processing hierarchy, above evaluating, analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. Other sources can be found in other countries placing emphasis on creativity as an important goal of learning and instruction. Given such emphasis, it seems appropriate to inquire about the nature of creativity and what might be reasonably done to foster creativity in learners.
