Design Creativity!

Learning & Leading with Technology, v40 n4 p16-19 Dec 2012-Jan 2013
Technology is revolutionizing the way the world works, and there seems to be no end in sight. Information is everywhere and easy to find, so today's students will need to know what to do with it to be prepared for the overly stimulating, technology-driven, problem-riddled world they will soon face. That's why critical- and creative-thinking skills are vital. Critical- and creative-thinking skills include idea generation, reflective judgment, self-regulation, and attitudes and dispositions. While many view these skills as intuitive, the authors present them as teachable. By combining technology integration with thinking skills, educators can better prepare students for the world of industry and innovation. The question becomes how they can seamlessly integrate technology while teaching critical- and creative-thinking skills. One piece of the answer is to start at the top by developing teachers' critical- and creative-thinking skills. Second, educators must use technology products in surprising and creative ways to engage students.
