Critical Thinking is one of the hottest topics in education today. Companies rate critical thinking and problem solving as the most important skills they look for in new employees. But how do you teach critical thinking?

You might think that teaching critical thinking through games would be a slam dunk. But in practice it's not that easy. In this interview with Bill Ritchie, co-founder of the toy company ThinkFun, you will hear what happened when he took their hit game Rush Hour into schools. Students enjoyed solving the puzzles, but had trouble describing their thought processes. Listen to Bill talk about the problems he ran into, and the surprising new approach he developed for teaching problem solving.
