A creative thinker is a person who is curious, adventurous, playful, intuitive, and experimental.

We're all born with creativity, and if you believe you are a creative person you will find ways of using it both in learning and in teaching. All it takes is

• a willingness to take risks,
• and the drive to make things work

• Problem-solving and problem-finding
• Outcome thinking
• Paradigm-shift
• Metaphor
