With the introduction of tablets into schools and the general acceptance that personal, hand held, digital devices will be soon be completely integrated into our learning, I thought I should look into the potential of them as creative tools for teenagers at AccessArt’s experimental drawing class.

I had been encouraging students for some time to use their phones to help document the progress of a piece (i.e. a drawing or sculpture) but we had not used phones or digital devices as creative tools per se.
