Over time, educators have come to advocate for the use of the computer in the act of creating something as in culminating performance tasks. I would be the last person to suggest that this is a wrong idea. However, there are times when creativity requires bouncing ideas around in one's head while doing other things. For example, being outside and walking or hiking or biking provides opportunities for thinking. I like to think about things when I am swimming in the pool. Any respite from sitting in front of a screen but still having to produce something or create something, will enable those creative juices to flow. Such is the way in which our minds work.
