This is the final document of Thematic working group 3 (TWG3) at EDUsummIT 2019, which summarizes the results of negotiations on creativity, learning, teaching and digital technology. Members of the TWG3 are academics from different countries.
Creativity is vital in teaching because students learn and adopt creative habits of mind and body when these are part of the environment, they learn in. The main attention of the working group and the documents for the meeting were focused on the importance and role of risk taking and failure in creative activities.
There is a deep intersection between technology and creativity, and the potential of both to inform each other in learning settings. Yet the intersections between creativity and technology are complex and involve pedagogy, thinking skills, risk taking, failure, ideation, problem solving and more.
TWG3 explores the intersections of these constructs and provide insight into how we can develop creativity in teaching and learning.
