Play provides the game atmosphere by providing the one aspect to creative problem solving that
can't be emulated any other way. A Play has no real pressure, no one would get a bad grade, lose
their job, or lose their client if you failed. This simple fact allowed you to take risks you may not
otherwise take. This is the fundamental effect of engaging in play, marginalized consequence,
because nothing was on the line, you were free to take chances and learning to risk is a seminal
part of creative problem solving.
In this topic, we are going to explore playing as a strong tool to enhance the critical thinking..
