I found Joy Egbert’s definition of creativity is very interesting (Egbert 2009). She states that there are more than one way to define creativity, but she defines it as, “the creation of original ideas, processes, experiences, or object” (p. 130). This stood out to me because it is like the key that unlocks all types of possibilities into the human brain. It is different from critical thinking in that it is a complete process. Creativity extends from beginning to end.

The IT Factor - Mathematics: Purpose and Goals
This blog is a forum for parents, teachers, students, and others to join in a conversation about integrating technology into the mathematics classroom. Mathematics is a “high-stakes” area and there are many forums out there to discuss how to improve test scores and such. That is not what this blog is about. This blog is a sounding board for ideas, concerns, and much more. I hope that through this blog, you will be able to understand more about technology integration in the mathematics classroom as well as express ideas regarding the technology friendly classroom. Please join us in a great discussion.
