focus is no longer on using, it is creating and producing.
(Steinkuehler, Black, & Clinton, 2005)

Rather than running the risk of having our students become "walking encyclopedias," we need to teach them how to
think creatively.
(Sternberg, 2006)

We are educating people out of their
creativity.
Creativity is as important in education
as literacy.

If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert Schweitzer

constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through
self-gratification but through fidelity to a
worthy purpose.”
Helen Keller

the achievement of one's values.
