ICT and Collaborative Creativity in Modern School Towards Knowledge Society

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Research on e-Learning and ICT in Education

Abstract

Knowledge Society creates new financial and social framework at an international level. The recent economic crisis, having ethical, political, cultural, and social dimensions, exacerbates social inequalities violently and rapidly contributes, from scratch, to the search of concepts and situations, which seemed solid in recent decades. The educational system follows these developments uneasily and tries to manage a new routine, feature of which is the uncertainty and the constant unknown that changes constantly. All we have as a fact is that we train citizens for a society and a world we have no idea how it will be, after a few years. The purpose of this paper was to highlight the collaborative creativity with the use of ICT, as one of the most important tools, which the thinking teacher has in order to respond critically to the demands of our times.
