Puzzles Puzzles Puzzles...

Let's be honest here, puzzles are fun.  Some of us as kids did puzzles about dinosaurs or airplanes.  Some may have don word puzzles or puzzles that used numbers.  I'm some of you even had parents that gave you 3D puzzles or made up puzzles just to get you to sit still for 5 seconds.  The reality is that puzzles are fun and unbeknown to most of us, they are highly educational.

By stimulating the brain on multiple fronts, puzzles can allow a person to see a problem from many different angles and attempt to come up with the most effective and viable solution.  Our good old friends at google have taken to the art of puzzles in a whole new way.

http://www.agoogleaday.com is a great site for learning fun and adventurous bits of information.   Be mindful when participating though, it can be a bit frustrating when looking for the answer and you are only off by 4 miles in the distance to walk from Philadelphia to New York to DC, I'm just saying.

Because of how the variety and complexity of topics presented by this site, I find that it will always keep students on their toes attempting to learn fun and new things.
