C.I.Y digital style

My favourite concept is C.I.Y and not just because I created it  myself in my book
 " Fashiona Belle" to sum up the King of Crafts , Kevin Carton and his highly ecological and creative philosophy to life but also because it  is a concept that is ever present in my teaching and teacher training work. My aim is to inspire teachers to create their own resources and give their pupils a chance to develop creativity too.  With this amazing tool DIGITAL CREATIVITY is possible with a couple of clicks....CLICK and CREATE, or cre8 and click....
click , create, CLICK for an example of a meograph  made by a teacher on the topic of plants and photosynthesis. I hope to follow in her footsteps and start creating my own very soon!
