I recently read a study<\/a> on creativity that blew my mind:<\/p>\n

“A major factor in creativity is education: not whether you had a ‘good’ or ‘expensive’ or ‘public’ education, but whether you were encouraged to develop your creativity<\/strong> starting at an early age and continuing throughout your school years.” \u2014 Adobe<\/p>\n

\"\"Powtoon in Your Classroom \u2014 Creativity & Education<\/h2>\n

We saw this first-hand, when Edson Tellez, a volunteer teacher in rural Mexico<\/a>, wrote to us about how Powtoon changed the way his students viewed the world. “They’re getting more creative, more receptive, and more dynamic in each class.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mind blowing fact is that developing creativity is the primary determining factor in the overall success of your students!\u00a0And there are 2 factors that contribute to that development:<\/p>\n

1 –<\/strong> Students must have a platform to be creative with (physical materials, online programs, a stage etc…)<\/p>\n

2-<\/strong> Direction – Even if you teach in the most affluent school, with the most expensive technology; your students are still only as good as the direction given to them. <\/strong>They are only as good as the challenges you present, the projects you assign and the creativity you encourage.<\/p>\n

And Powtoon wants to help you ignite this creativity!<\/p>\n
