Blog about any examples of pupils using computers as tools to support or enhance creative work. If you have the opportunity to use Scratch or programmable toys with your pupils, do blog about that. If you have the opportunity to get feedback from pupils on your project, please record that and make use of this in the subsequent development of your game.
