According to the evaluation results, the platform’s best advantages are that it sparks creative thinking, self-expression and collaboration with peer learners as all stories can be easily shared with others. Bringing creativity at the core of learning is probably the best way to use technology in classrooms”, says Olli Vallo, CEO of Education Alliance Finland.
