Creativity

New Media fosters creativity in multiple ways. Today more than ever the business for graphic designing and app and web developers is booming. I think the age of new media fosters creativity in multiple ways. We can create lives outside of reality and live in a virtual world, you can envision something and create a prototype using computers and web applications. You can design a website and upload photos and graphics to get yourself out there. People now have the ability to produce an online portfolio and resume as well as a hard copy. You can be creative because you have the benefit of internet at your hands, in my classroom i get creative with my 2 year old students, we Zumba. I use YouTube nearly every single day to play different music for them and make sure they are having the best time. New Media outlets such as Pinterest allow me and my head teacher to find new and innovative ideas to freshen up our classroom and make it more interesting for the upcoming year.
In the article Twitter Serves Up Ideas From It's Followers by Claire Cain Miller we see that creativity sometimes stems from who is following you. People watch Twitter to see whats trending and the smart thing that Twitter does is give the people what they want. Instead of them getting taken down for followers, they listen to them give them what they want and this way they don't have to compete.
