Creativity, Technology, and Learning provides a comprehensive introduction to theories and research on creativity in education and, in particular, to the role of digital-learning technologies in enabling creativity across classroom learning environments. Topical coverage includes play, constructionism, multimodal learning and project-/problem-based learning. Creativity is uniquely positioned throughout the book as an integral component of the educational process and also as a foundational aspect of self-actualization, thriving communities, and humane societies.

Through in-depth, empirically based discussions of the philosophical, curricular and pedagogical elements of creativity, Sullivan demonstrates how creativity can be fostered across the curriculum through the use of digital-learning technologies in design, personal expression and problem-solving activities.

This ambitious and interdisciplinary book brings together pedagogical theory, semiotics, play, creativity, and philosophy. The goal is to develop a coherent understanding of how to best use technology to enhance creative learning. This valuable book helps educators understand how to align educational technology with theoretical and empirical research on creativity and learning.
