Encouraging Creativity with ICT in Education

Is the use of ICT enhancing or stifling creative learning experiences?

Mitch Resnick (a disciple of the Seymour Papet) said, ‘Success in the future – for individuals, for communities, for companies, for nations as a whole – will be based not on what we know or how much we know, but on our ability to think and act creatively.'

According to the world-renowned educationist Sir Ken Robinson, creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status.

This paper poses the above question in the light of recent research and anecdotal observation from a wide range of experiences as a teacher, researcher, parent, author and presenter in this area.
