The subjects for the study were teachers who had won a Createach Award. This award is sponsored by the Chinese Creativity Development Association (CCDA) in a nation-wide contest held annually in Taiwan to reward creative teachers in primary and secondary schools. The award serves as an impetus to creative education in Taiwan. The realisation of this goal requires innovations in active learning, team teaching, independent learning, co-operative learning and individualised instruction.

N2 - Although the use of computer technology in classrooms is an innovative approach to teaching, teachers with creativity might not use technology as intensively as they use other creative strategies in the classroom. Eight teachers who won an award for creative teaching were interviewed in order to identify the factors affecting their use of technology in creative teaching. Teachers perceptions about technology use were studied. Two major issues were explored. First, we studied how teachers integrated technology into creative teaching; we then identified the factors that influenced teachers use of technology in teaching. The identified factors were classified into four categories: environmental, personal, social and curricular issues.
