Students in a Year 10 Cath Tech class were given a driving question about how designing electronic games could give students an understanding of the influences of the Church in the Middle Ages. Students were given the option to use either Flash or Scratch programming to design games responding to the question. The teacher provided an example of using technology to differentiate instruction for students in the class.
