Great approach - posing problems for students is a good way to involve students in the process. When handling a lot of information that you feel is either redundant or irrelevant it is important to treat it as information only...not knowledge construction. While most teachers stick with the information only and evaluate the momorization of that information only, students are not developed into critical thinkers or problem solvers, or knowledge workers.
As you continue to focus on problem solving, how can you move your students past information exchange and into knowledge contstruction?
