“Wicked Good” Problems
May 29, 2008 by Brad Edwards
A wicked problem is defined as one with a complex solution, and that the solution itself will probably open up more problems to tackle as the solver works through the original problem. The variables make the solution very hard to figure out; add to that the changing nature of technology, and you’ve got a “wicked good wicked problem.” “Wicked Good” is a common oxymoronic expression here in Maine.
This in itself is enough of a brick wall to send teachers back to their foxholes and prevent them from using technology on their own, and gets in the way of schools moving forward.
