Which of the NETS-S is most important for you to address in your class?

1. Creativity and Innovation

Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and
processes using technology.

With the rapid progress of modern civilization, creativity and innovation in education and economy are becoming the major driving forces behind all the things that we enjoy. For example, take a look at most of, not all, Apple products. Although there are some anti-Apple users out there somewhere, most of us appreciate its products. Creativity and innovation are two of major values of human resources in the 21st century knowledge-based society.
Through technology, their importance is emphasized in today's knowledge economy which is based on the production and distribution of knowledge and information. The ability of an organization to grow is depended on its capability to generate new ideas and to utilize them effectively for the long-term benefit of the organization. Again, take a look at what Apple is doing.

  1. I agree with you that creativity and innovation have become more important in our society than they have ever been before. Promoting this with our students is a difficult task.

    One good thing that I see with all the advances in technology is that knowledge is no longer a commodity. It is now free.
