"In today’s rapidly changing world, people must continually come up with creative solutions to unexpected problems. Success is based not only on what you know or how much you know, but on your ability to think and act creatively. In short, we are now living in the Creative Society"( Resnick, 2007).
Response:
I think that the ability to think creatively is needed for success in today's society and for future generations. As it says in the article the world is rapidly changing and as it does we need to produce students that are both effective learners and have the ability to think critically and creatively. I believe the old saying of " thinking outside the box" should be encouraged in our students of today. We live in a digital world one where technology in the classrooms can be used to promote creativity among our students. So by encouraging this creativity and giving the students freedom to express their thoughts and ideas we are giving them the ability to succeed not only in education but the ability to succeed in life.
