NETS•S For Students
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and
processes using technology. Students:
“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in
kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away
and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history,
etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the ‘creative bug’ is just a wee
voice telling you, ‘I’d like my crayons back, please.’ “
~Hugh MacLeod
~Albert Einstein
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken the joy
in creative expression and knowledge.”

CREATIVITY
Allows students to reorganize acquired knowledge and
information to create a new end result.
Creation tools and apps encourage students to:● Generate ideas● Design plans● Develop a new way of doing
things
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
NETS•S
Identify local or global problems that need creative solutions. In
small groups, engage in divergent thinking to explore
options for solutions. Use technology (e.g., graphs, wikis, other group authoring tools) to capture and share promising
strategies with the whole group. Select and describe
specific ideas or create products or processes that
could provide new solutions.
Classroom Example
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
NETS•S
Use technology resources (e.g., photo-editing tools, digital video-editing tools, green
screen technology, animation tools) to modify or create
digital works; produce a media-rich digital story, individually or
collaboratively (e.g., story based on a first-person interview or historical
research); document a reflection of processes and results.
Classroom Example
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
NETS•S
Individually and/or in groups, program a robot to perform a task. Students can also use
online simulations and visualization tools to explore
effects of manipulating variables. Record and display results and conclusions using electronic tools (e.g., graphs,
word clouds, ranking or sorting tools).
Classroom Example
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.
NETS•S
Collect and electronically store data based on observations of
changes in one or more variables over time (e.g., plant
growth, population growth, pollution reduction). Use
graphs to identify trends. Make a data-driven prediction about
future outcomes.
Classroom Example
b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
c. use models and simulations to explore complex systems and issues.
d. identify trends and forecast possibilities.
