===Welcome to our Group 1 Wiki page. Our task is to collaborate and come to consensus on a group definition for these three entries from our handout: Creativity and Innovation, Critical Thinking, and Problem Solving === === To add your thoughts to the definition or group comments columns below, simply click Edit in the above right. Once in edit mode, click in the definition column behind your name and start typing - the columns will widen as you type. Be sure to save your work with the Save button in the upper right before exiting. Check back frequently and make comments on other definitions so that we can come to consensus on a definition that captures the thoughts of our entire group. I believe that we are to have our definitions to Denise Jonas by Friday, February 3. ===
