The Obama Administration “Technology is core and essential to the strategies we are using to reform education." Jim Shelton, assistant deputy secretary for innovation and improvement at the United States Department of Education, and Aneesh Chopra, chief technology officer in the White House. (Fletcher, 2009)
AND… “Chopra said that technology in education is less about hardware and software and more about what we teach, the method in which we teach it, and professional development and support for educators.” (Fletcher, 2009)
Why is creativity in technology  important for our future? Susan Marcus & Susie Monday, co- authors of New World Kids: The Parents' Guide to Creative Thinking (2009) believe “Looking at two-year-olds (or five or ten) today, it is impossible to imagine what the  world will be like or what their career choices will be by the time they are grown. The scale of change, largely driven and enabled by technology, is unprecedented in human history. And it is the change itself, this reordering, this reinventing the new world that will occupy our children’s future” (2009, back cover).
