For example, when teaching spreadsheets, make the software or online tools a vehicle for practicing critical thinking, data analysis, and evidence-based learning, not for learning one brand of software or a particular spreadsheet tool. Problem solving is integral to learning. Keyboarding skills are granular.

Some had been teaching for thirty years and still enthusiastically embraced everything from twitter to the gamification of education. They were problem solvers. I often heard, ‘if I tweak it here, I can solve this problem’ They are inquirers. This modeled not just problem solving but critical thinking.
