Fostering creativity in technology-enhanced learning

Being “digital natives”, contemporary students are already enabled to use almost any kind of technology in the classroom. Due to that fact, teachers should focus on choosing the right tools to help them develop their competences - basic skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary for personal fulfilment and employability in a knowledge society. Critical thinking, creativity, initiative and problem solving are playing big role in achieving eight key competences defined by European Reference Framework 2006. This work focuses on a research in the field of creativity ; the definition of creativity is followed by various examples of using computers as a tool which helps us foster creativity in education. Thinking “outside the box” and generating new original ideas are what we have to encourage in students’ minds and, in order to accomplish that, we have to make them realize that creativity can be thought and learned. New theories, studies and achievements in the field of creativity are presented with the emphasis on technology-enhanced learning.
