| "The
crossword puzzle stands out from [other educational games] as a classroom tool. Crosswords
have been used successfully in many different disciplines, showing their versatility and
flexibility. They are also a useful tool as most people are already familiar with them, which
reduces the need to explain directions, saving class time. Additionally, these puzzles are
often perceived as being a recreational activity, therefore making them more enjoyable
and less threatening than traditional teaching techniques." -- Tricia M. Davis, Brooke Shepherd, and Tara Zwiefelhofer, "Reviewing for Exams: Do Crossword Puzzles Help in the Success of Student Learning?" |
