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.
