Years ago kids made things in their classrooms, clubs, and at home. We changed direction in schools because of standardized testing and accountablility for those results. Instinctively we humans are inventors, makers of things, and creators . Today in schools we can do these things again, not only with hands-on art supplies but with project-based learning using technology tools. Read this article to see how different school districts are using creativity in the classroom resulting in collaboration between students and teachers.
