ABSTRACT
The importance of digital and virtual environments for both creativity and learning has been recognised for a number of years. From a luxury reserved for the very few or the distant future, digital and virtual environments in education became a necessity and an everyday reality for millions of people around the world. The previous chapters focused on different aspects of creativity and learning, and several of them referred to how these phenomena are mediated by the use of various technologies. This chapter engages in a conversation specifically about digital and virtual environments and use some of the findings reported in this book, results from their previous research, as well as their general expertise, to shed a new light on this complex topic. The conversation format, adds a dialogical and emerging element to what is nowadays a highly debated topic. It offers an overview of the main topics covered in this book and adds to them, conceptually and practically. The focus is twofold: on the one hand, on theoretical notions that help us understand the current situation and, on the other, on practical advice that can guide those interested in technology-enhanced learning and creativity, now and in the future.
