Puzzle Thinking
• Limited & static rules
• Limited answer set
• Clear when solution is reached
• Easy to “cheat” with technology

The Challenge of Mysteries
• Too much information
• Fluid and plural
• Absence of an outcome may be the outcome
• Need ‘framing’ rather than ‘solving’
• Technology and good teaching lead to results

Puzzle Solution
Puzzle Solution
What happened?• Who solved the puzzle?
• Who used the internet?
• Who worked it out for themselves?
• Who shared the answer with others?
• Who “cheated?”
• Compare this experience to the workplace
• Compare this experience to our classrooms
Now what?
• Technology lets us solve puzzles easily
• Puzzles aren’t as interesting as they used to be
• Technology can engage our learners
• But many things can’t be taught this way
Framing mysteries using effective tools has always
been good teaching.
