Technology and Creativity in the 21st Century

Confronted by growing concerns felt globally, the author explains why a general theory lends insight to two complex interrelated fields. As a means to solve a host of contradictions in education, an understanding of technology and creativity is best aided when essential and integral relationships of both phenomena are thoughtfully considered. Drawing from the author s arts education practice, relationships are examined through the lens of scientific and philosophical inquiry to address dualistic thinking about art/science, medium/message, and language/thought. In its conclusion, dualism is overturned by carefully framing the interdependence of technology and creativity thus leading to a holistic and practical approach to learning in the 21st Century.
