I ran across this Newsweek article through Dan Pink's website (www.danpink.com). What caught my attention most was this quote:
Researchers say creativity should be taken out of the art room and put into homeroom. The argument that we can’t teach creativity because kids already have too much to learn is a false trade-off. Creativity isn’t about freedom from concrete facts. Rather, fact-finding and deep research are vital stages in the creative process. Scholars argue that current curriculum standards can still be met, if taught in a different way.

That fits so well with use of technology and digital storytelling opportunities. It's articles like these that make me realize it's worthwhile to take the time and energy to allow students opportunities in creativity and technology.
