Abstract
Creativity and digital technologies are considered to be central for success and development
in the current society, becoming crucial educational objectives worldwide.
Nevertheless, education often fails to keep pace with creative and digital economies; this
is mainly because teachers are not prepared for adopting pedagogical strategies that foster
creativity or for fully exploiting the educational potential of digital technologies. Based
on the seminal theories of creativity, we propose an innovative framework for applying
creative teaching practices mediated by digital technologies: in the light of constructivist
and constructionist approaches, we suggest a series of digital tools which are particularly
suitable to the emergence of creativity, i.e. manipulative technologies, educational robotics
and game design and coding. Furthermore, we shape the concept of digital creative
pedagogies (DCP) and establish a set of characteristic components of teaching practices
which contribute to the development of students’ creativity. Drawing on a substantial
body of research, the chapter intends to embed educational creativity in the digital culture.
