            Abstract : 
There is usually this common inevitable association of creativity to designers or artists as they are often thought of to be well-versed in their drawings and representations techniques. The teachers in the Craft and Technology (C&T) Department have gone about exploring the possibility of capturing students´ creative ideas without the need to be good in drawing (representation) in the context of the subject of Design and Technology (D&T). For this paper, the teachers are interested in exploring how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools can help sustain the students´ creativity in their ideation process.
