Our Review

This essential guide bridges the critical gap between educational theory and classroom practice by exploring how digital tools can systematically foster student creativity. Florence R. Sullivan provides a comprehensive framework that moves beyond seeing technology as a mere productivity tool, instead positioning it as a fundamental catalyst for creative thinking and problem-based learning. The book's topical coverage is both practical and profound, delving into constructionist pedagogy, multimodal learning, and the role of play in educational environments. It convincingly argues that creativity isn't an extracurricular luxury but an integral component of effective modern education.

What distinguishes this work is its scholarly yet accessible approach to making theoretical concepts immediately applicable for educators designing technology-enhanced classrooms. Teachers and instructional designers will find particularly valuable the research-backed strategies for integrating creative digital projects across subject areas, transforming standard lessons into opportunities for innovation. Sullivan successfully demonstrates how foundational aspects of creativity can be nurtured through deliberate pedagogical choices and contemporary learning technologies. This book ultimately provides the conceptual tools needed to reimagine classrooms as vibrant hubs of creative exploration and meaningful learning.
