Creativity and ICT

Some may find this a bit random but I am trying to get organised and catch up on any uni work I may have missed and this was an question from my first week in my elective class that I had still to answer. What is creativity and how can we use ICT to aid creativity? (If anyone has anything they would like to add to this please feel free need all the information I can get.)

I think that creativity is how we individually approach a given task. The end result may turn out the same in some cases but most people look at how to get there in different ways. Some people see shortcuts and quick ways of getting there where as others see a drawn out process which will give them the best results. Everyone can be creative it is merely a process of thought. ICT encourages creativity as it provides tool for people who may be required to do a certain task but do not have the skills to complete it without assistance. Take for example something as simple as making a poster, if you cannot draw doing this by hand it may turn out bland and boring whereas with the help of the internet and simple computer programs it could turn out a piece of art.

GLOW

I logged into my GLOW account today to have a little look around and realised how easy it is to forget some of the things we are taught. I used GLOW in my first year elective class and have forgotten how to do half of the things I had learned. Will need to look out those old notes. x

Snowboarding

I had my first snowboarding lesson today. It was really fun although I fell quite a few times. It was a great workout and I can't wait to do my next lesson. xxx

End of the holidays

I don't know how everyone else is getting on but I must say I am severely struggling getting back to normal after the holidays. This covers getting back into the habit of university, having to cut back on spending as tight for cash and no wanting to eat a whole box of chocolates in one sitting. x
