In this article by Mitchel Resnick (2006) he states that we as educators need to stop looking at computers as televisions and more like paintbrushes, that is; “we need to start seeing
computers not simply as information machines, but also as a new medium for creative design and expression.” Resnick (2006)  goes on to say that; teachers need to open new opportunities for children to playfully explore, experiment, design, and invent using computer technology. Resnick ultimate goal is to create creative technologies that foster creative
thinking and creative expression. In his article he lists some principles for creating a new medium for creative design and expression for children in our classrooms.

Principles:

1. Start seeing computers as a new medium for creative design and expression.

2.Learning through design; by creating their own robots, children gain a deeper understanding of the ideas underlying the workings of robots.

3. Supporting Playful Learning that fosters creative
thinking and creative expression.

4. Make technologies personal; children become most engaged with new technologies, and learn the most in playing with these technologies, when they work on projects growing out of their
own personal interests.

As a student teacher it can often be difficult to imagine how I would deliver and facilitate a computer enriched session for my students, with these recommendations I shall endeavour to use these principles as a foundation on how to use computers as  a new medium for creative design and expression.
