A ToolBook Application: Using Computer Puzzles To Teach Critical-Thinking Skills KEYWORDS: Critical-thinking, Computer Puzzles, Teaching Strategies Dr. Alfred Benney Fairfield University North Benson Road Fairfield, CT U.S.A. 06430-7524 Email: Benney@FAIR1.Fairfield.edu Fax: 203-254-4105 Voice: 203-254-4000 x2398 The Problem Students come to American Universities with critical skills that are inadequate for college-level scholarship. It is essential not only for their studies, but for their lives and careers that they learn to do analysis to get a clear understanding of the data before they begin to form their opinions about it. In the preface to their book, Asking the Right Questions, Neil Browne and Stuart Keeley make the following observation: . . . we were dismayed at the degree to which students and acquaintances showed an increasing dependence on "experts" textbook writers, teachers, lawyers, politicians, journalists, and TV commentators. As the complexity of the world seems to grow at an accelerating rate, there is a greater tendency to become passive absorbers of information, uncritically accepting what is seen and heard. Humanities courses have a distinct advantage in providing an educational environment for teaching analysis or some form of critical thinking. The subject is fuzzy and represents the way most humans interact with their world and with one another. Because of this, analytic skills learned in this environment have applications in a variety of people-oriented careers such as teaching, politics, business, mediation/negotiation, criminal law, etc., as well as the obvious uses for personal relationships and communication.

The events of September 11 brought the need for greater world awareness to the forefront of educational discourse. Now, more than ever, we have to promote the kind of environments where children can learn to think critically about the world around them and work proactively to bring about positive change in their local and global communities. This website builds on the global issues explored during the day-long Teach In hosted by Teachers College in January 2002.

The Medical Basis of Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Sleep Problems, and Drug Use (presented FREE for you to read) Explained in Fun, Easy to Read, Format More than FOUR MILLION visitors to this page since January 1997. EN ESPANOL Spanish translation by Silvia Winowski. Click Here for Awards Page This COMPLETE, FREE web site sponsored by Brad Burns CONTENTS Recognizing Stress Most people are exposed to much higher levels of stress than they realize. Your Stress Scale A self-test you can use to determine how much stress your are really facing. Brain Chemical Messengers Brain cells "talk to each other" by means of chemical messengers. When a person is exposed to too much stress, chemical communication in the brain begins to fail. When these messengers fail, a person suffers from sleep disturbance, aches and pains, depression and anxiety. This condition is called OVERSTRESS. Three Happy Messengers Three brain messengers control your sleeping, your energy levels, and your feelings of pain and pleasure. Pick-Me-Up's Chemicals from the grocery store shelf, as well as drugs, can temporarily restore your brain messenger function but not completely, and not for long.These substances are called "Pick-Me-Up's." Pick-Me-Up's are the WRONG way to handle overstress.
