Technological tools used in the classroom in order to enhance student creativity: blogs for creative thinking, cartoon and comic strip tools, mind-mapping and brainstorming tools, creation of info graphics, digital story telling tools, etc.

"Creative thoughts are what took us to the Moon. We need to make sure that we remind students of the value of creativity, and that we give them every chance to show it in the classroom." -- Nicholas Provenzano (High school english teacher)
