When tech fails, learning doesn’t have to stop! This session highlights the 21 Things 4 Students Troubleshooting Thing, where students take on the role of problem-solving superheroes. Through four interactive Quests, learners gain confidence in troubleshooting common computer and network issues, while also practicing strategies for thinking critically and logically when things go wrong.
Teachers and curriculum teams will discover how this Thing:

  • Builds student independence with hands-on troubleshooting skills.
  • Introduces real-world strategies for tackling everyday tech problems.
  • Guides students in creating flowcharts to visualize their problem-solving process.
  • Encourages critical thinking and resilience by exploring challenges and solutions.

Whether used as a full sequence or as stand-alone lessons when tech frustrations strike, Troubleshooting empowers students to take charge and turn glitches into learning opportunities.
