Education Technologies and Creativity

Technologies are tools that have transformed teaching and learning. Numerous educational technology programmes and strategies have been developed to ensure that they are used creatively to benefit learning. They foster relationships between educators and learners reinvent teaching approaches and adapt learning experiences. In reading the text new technologies appear omnipresent among students and teachers without being omnipotent. Technology is a tool used by teachers not to solve a specific problem but to support teaching. This phenomenon is relatively unexplored territory in education. While much is unknown about the institutional conditions that help teachers learn new classroom practices there is even less understanding about how knowledge is created and shared using ICT. That is the understanding sought by this paper.
