As educators working in service of students, we all have an impact on learners. What kind of an impact we have matters and can last a lifetime. In this keynote talk, Sue explores how the use of puzzles and play has a lasting and positive impact on learners. Presenting puzzles from across the globe and time, listeners will experience these benefits for themselves, leaving with resources to go forward and joyfully impact their students.
