Students as Digital Creators

From building learning apps and games to digital design and innovations, schools are increasingly becoming nerve centers for creativity. In a new EdTechNext report, , the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) examines this transformation in school systems nationwide – and how they are proving beneficial to students and educators.

“Digital creativity is not just an idea. It is a powerful way of learning that is enhancing student engagement and preparing them for their college and career paths in modern, 21st century environments,” said Norton Gusky, Co-Chair, CoSN’s Emerging Technologies Committee. By telling the stories of school systems, the report shows how digital creativity is improving student and family engagement, personalizing learning, expanding opportunities for robust, interdisciplinary learning, and energizing productive collaborations with partners in education and other sectors.
