This is an introduction to teaching creativity for use by teachers, students, and anyone interested in understanding how creativity works and how to develop it through writing games. This first podcast discusses reasons to teach creativity, introduces a simple but useful definition for creativity focusing on divergent thinking, and finally discusses some challenges when teaching and using creativity, particularly the challenge of building a judgment free zone, the key to all creative work.
