Can Creativity be Learned?
For a variety of reasons, I have been pondering the idea of being creative and creativity during my time off from school this summer. I have pondered earlier in this blog whether or not early and consistent exposure to technology stifles creative thought in our children. The article here http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/07/can-creativity-be-learned/372605/#comments by Delistraty attempts to answer the question - "Can Creativity be Taught." He cites studies that seem to indicate that the brains of creative people are simply wired differently. Other researchers suggest that while opportunity and practice enhance creativity, creative people are simply...creative. What are the implications for teachers and librarians?
