Comments	It is not an activity carried out by the pupil but one of the objectives of CREA it is that the teachers also elaborates his pedagogic materials with the TIC, being creative and sharing them with the teachers of other countries. This is the framework of this activity. CREA it is, in my opinion, is as much for teachers as for the students... the two parts growing in creativity, application of the TIC and sharing at distance.
