Creativity Definition
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Flow)
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (psychologist, academic, and writer) Creativity – Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention – Creativity is any act, idea, or product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms an existing domain into a new one… What counts is whether the novelty he or she produces is accepted for inclusion in the domain. http://thesecondprinciple.com/creativity/creativity-essentials/on-definitio...

“What is the biggest obstacle to creativity? Attachment to outcome. As soon as you become attached to a specific outcome, you feel compelled to control and manipulate what you’re doing and in the process you shut yourself off to other possibilities. Creativity is not just about succeeding. It’s about experimenting and discovering.”
Gordon MacKenzie – Orbiting the giant hairball (one of Leslie Owens Wilson's favorite books on creativity!)

Also, story of Degas and his painting, Jockeys. Creativity isn't always pretty. Deliberately making "wrong" choices.

"Innovation is significant positive change." - Scott Berkun
http://scottberkun.com/2013/the-best-definition-of-innovation/
If we use that definition, how does it change our thinking about using technology with school?
innovative is like the word "very," a word that adds little other than an emphasis which ends up being meaningless.
