Education has only one purpose. Equip the young for tomorrow.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Ten thousand years ago, this meant hunting or farming. But in today\u2019s concrete jungle, things have changed.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

There is only one variable<\/b> that can solve the problems of tomorrow.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Creativity.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In today\u2019s world, unpredictability<\/b> is the only thing which doesn\u2019t change.Things which were true yesterday is not true today and tomorrow is a whole different story.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The only way of equipping future generations is to help them tap into their creative wisdom.<\/b> Here lies the importance of Educational Technology in teaching and learning.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Creativity is simply the ability to create solutions out of thin air. All you need is a powerful sense of imagination<\/b>. And that\u2019s one thing every child has, until schools kill it<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Those who manage to somehow preserve it (mostly by dropping out) turn out to be highly \u2018creative\u2019 individuals who are apparently cut out from different fabric.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So we live in a world where the society badly needs creative individuals. We also live in a world where children are immensely creative (until they join school). There is the demand, there is the supply.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Yet, there is a massive creativity gap<\/b> in society.<\/p>\n
