No, definitely not “of course”. Creativity is not defined by the technology or even the result, but is a... well, property of a process. I - personally - can snap a video without being creative at all, and the video may happen to be good. Like how a talking parrot can drop a joke at an appropriate moment, without understanding it at all ;)
It all really depends on what goes in one’s head as they do something.
That is - to recognize if the kid (or whoever, age does not matter here) is creative just talk to them and learn what the heck are they thinking. Like asking to share what’s their passion for that hobby, or teach how they do it - even the most basic replies would quite probably involve some descriptions of the logical processes running in one’s head.
(I do not mean to argue if your kid having a passion for recording videos is creative or not. Just saying that it’s not universally applicable “of course”.)
- johnfn 6y ago"Of course" in the sense that it is literally creative - an act of creation. I'd argue that whether the exact pattern of neurons firing in her head measures up the standards you have is less important than the fact that she's actively using her phone to create content rather than passively ingesting it.
