According to our nation’s students, the value of using technology for learning is clear—when used effectively, it helps them develop the skills they need for future success. Less than one-third of students say they have regular access to interactive technologies such as virtual labs, multimedia tools, augmented reality, coding resources, and AI tools that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Students report that their best use of digital resources for learning happens on their own time, outside of school, most often through their smartphones.

If, as many educators say, today’s students will work in jobs that don’t exist yet and use technology that hasn’t been invented, how do we prepare them? According to Dan Hunter, author of Learning and Teaching Creativity, and Dr. Rex Jung, President of Brain and Behavioral Associates, we teach students to understand and embrace their imagination. During the edLeader Panel “Creativity in and Out of the Classroom,” they discussed key aspects of imagination and creativity and how they help students become productive problem solvers.
