I think this summary makes some useful points but should be read from a wider critical perspective. For example, this is a good point: "simply giving students the space to be creative doesn't necessarily equip them with the skills to think creatively." But this seems wrong to me: " creativity is the ability to come up with ideas that are both novel and useful." This may define innovation, but creativity has to make room for the useless. Also, it's useful to note that most digital tools help students "express their creative idea but didn't play a role in enabling creative thinking." But the idea that using pencils and paper is 'not using tools' is just wrong. Non-digital creativity still uses tools, whether they be classrooms, flipcharts, or other objects. And we can doodle and interact and play and be creative using both digital and non-digital tools. I do it all the time.
