Developing these ideas for your consideration has been perhaps the most rewarding experience of my professional life. Reaching out to others to ask permission to use snippets of their thoughts and creations and being met with such overwhelming support has been the greatest vindication of what I have come to believe as laid out in these pages.
We are a creative species.
Our greatest leaps forward have come about as the result of combining and remixing ideas that have come before in new ways. But do we understand our relationship with our creations? Does technology ‘happen’ to us? Do we design environments for our formative years to maximize our creative potential? Everyone has a stake in education. And everyone has an opinion. From scholars and educators to students and parents. This book aims to redirect the conversation by revising not the whats and hows of creativity and learning but the why.

In short, Creativity is Everything, brings you up to speed. It is a lightning fast ride full of exhilarating insights leading to clearer understanding of some of the most important issues surrounding education, creativity and innovation in our digital world and in the schools that help bring forth our future. It is a guidebook to what we could be doing better, based on where we are and how we got here. It answers some fundamental questions about why we need to change while offering some ideas as to how we go about it. This book will make you think about old things in new ways and encourage you to develop new ideas of your own. It will entertain you along the way. It is a remix. I am just the conductor and arranger of these ideas in a new format.
