129 – These puzzles can teach kids about critical thinking

Critikid.com is a website dedicated NOT to criticizing children but rather to teaching them critical thinking using games, riddles and puzzles.

Plus, what is her super-duper secret project about teaching kids that social media is a cesspool of misinformation?
