Creative tools	Description
A mind map	A diagram used to generate ideas in general and new ones in creativity development. The concept is written in the center and major ideas are connected to it while others branch out from those. Ideas can be expressed by words, images or symbols or codes and must be colorful to describe associations of ideas. Students are encouraged to create their own mind maps (Hyeler, 1996) .
Questions	The five “Wh” questions, together with “How?” are used for exploration (Conklin, 2012) and provocation of the mind to respond to issues and discover new things (Okpara, 2007) . In particular, “What if…” and “Why not?” are used for developing imagination (Starko, 2013) . The use of creative questions in the teaching and learning process will enrich the contextualization in the study tasks (Neira & Soto, 2013) .
SCAMPER	This tool is used to develop the imagination or new products by adding or eliminating a part (or parts) to modify an existing object or find new functions for it (Starko, 2013) .
Brainstorming	helps generate ideas by individuals or groups. Each individual gives one idea in oral or written forms and all ideas are accepted without critical comment (Starko, 2013) .
The six thinking hats	are used to help a person find new perspectives and avoid becoming trapped in familiar patterns of thought. The six color hats are used as follows: white focuses on information; green is for creative efforts; red is for feelings, intuition, or emotion; black is for critical judgment; yellow is for benefits and possibilities; and blue monitors the kinds of thinking being used. It is better to use these hats in combination (Kivunja, 2015; Starko, 2013) .
Random word	some random words are given and combined to make connections, form new meanings and associations for generating creative and innovative ideas (Starko, 2013) .
A random picture	a tool for combining random pictures to form new images (Starko, 2013) .
Wiki & Blog	are software tools for social interactions that allow students to generate and spread new ideas to others and to receive comments for accomplishing them (Northcott et al., 2007) .
