Although critical thinking and problem solving remain salient
assets for learners and career seekers, they are given new dimension
in the 21st century via advanced technologies for accessing,
analyzing, and creating information (Trilling and Fadel 2009).
Likewise, creativity and innovation continue to be prized skills in
the global marketplace. Contrary to popular belief, scholars suggest
creativity can be developed over time in the same way as other
skills (Wegerif and Dawes 2004; Loveless 2002).
