Promoting Creativity and Standards

Creativity and Innovation kick-off the new NETS for students. Explore engaging technology tools that involve students in creative thinking, constructing knowledge, and developing innovative products.

ISTE NETS•S Standard 1 - Creativity and Innovation
Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students will:

• NETS 1a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
  
• NETS 1b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
  
• NETS 1c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
  
• NETS 1d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.

Rather than a traditional test, young people are asked to share their understandings in creative ways using technology tools. Explore Tessellations for an example of how Glogster can be used to create posters to share math concepts. Seek flexible tools, look for educator versions, and design engaging assignments.
