Beth Dichter's insight:
The Inquiry Process requires that students ask questions. This visualization provides five questions in the following four categories. * How do you pose real questions? * How do you find and validate resources? * How to you interpret information? * How do you write your report? From my experience students often struggle with inquiry based learning. In classrooms it is often the teacher asking the question and the students responding. What would happen if you provided your students with a copy of this infographic and used it as a tool to help them scaffold their thinking and better understand what the inquiry process is?

We are so far removed from inquiry based classrooms that curiosity is but a shadow. Students wait to be fed the learning, which isn't true learning if it is fed. True learning comes from asking our own questions and setting out on a quest to unravel the riddle we have created.

"Lately, there have been a bunch of buzzwords floating around the education world that all seem to mean the same thing. You’ve probably heard them: problem-based learning, project-based learning and inquiry-based learning. Is there a difference? How will you know which one to do in your classroom?"

this is a very insightful article that helps lay out the similarities and differences between project based, inquiry based and problem based learning styles. a good read for anyone looking to try them, and understand the differences between them.

There are a lot of great tools out there that have more than one use. One of my favorite tools is Google's Tour Builder, a Google Maps infused interface that allows the user to create tours. But di...
Beth Dichter's insight:
Have you explored Tour Builder (from Google)? Evan Scherr states "Tour Builder gives students an interactive way to present their learning in a way that is a lot more engaging than a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation." This post provides four on how you might use Tour Builder in your classroom, as well as an example that you may check out. These examples include * Creating a multimedia letter based on historical events (or perhaps a book) * Using Google Trends and Google Maps. The suggestions here is to look at a trend based on a specific word and find out where it is is popular and is not popular and explore the reasons for this. * Exploring a favorite city, where each student adds their city to the map * Use it to have students create Lit Trips In addition to these suggestions he includes additional ones in other academic areas and shares the many types of multimedia that may be integrated into a Google Tour.

This would be a fantastic tool for our educators to use to create a video tour of their Amazon experience!

"College and career ready is a very common theme these days. As with any catch-phrase, many educators are most likely sick of hearing it. The longer you stay in any profession the more at risk you are of hearing new phrases year after year, which may just have the same definitions as the old phrase. They're just new words. Unfortunately, too many educators have that attitude that what is old is new again. And too many feel that way about technology. They feel it is a passing fad that has no place in schools."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Do you think your students are learning ready? Are the educators in your school putting students first? This post explores these questions. The list below is some of what we as educators may do to encourage students to be learning ready (quoted from post). * Listen to them -- it sounds easy and it should be. However, sometimes we get so caught up in what needs to be done, that we forget those things are being done to our students * Encourage Risk-taking -- Encourage students to offer ideas. If they want to add something to a conversation, educators should listen and then encourage them to further their research about it. * One right answer -- Some questions have one right answer, but many others have different answers which offer different pathways to learning. For additional ways to encourage students and a more in-depth look at these issues check out the post.

This visual on Inquiry Based Learning provides four questions in four areas:
* Pose real and valid questions
* Find the resources
* Interpret the information
* Report your findings
If you provide opportunities for learners to use inquiry based approaches this visual may be helpful for students to have as they work through the process.
