Inquiry Based Learning
EDIM 513
I've enjoyed learning a bit more about the inquiry process throughout this class. I especially liked learning about the following...
- how to differentiate facts from concepts. - how to turn a non-investigable question into an investigable question. - variety of Web 2.0 tools to use and hearing about other educator's successes with the tools. - the 5E Instructional Model. - the different types of inquiry (teacher directed, student directed, or teacher-student directed). I've always valued the inquiry process, however, I've found it daunting in the past because I believed that in order to be considered "inquiry-based learning," it had to be completely student driven. As a third grade teacher, that intimidated me a bit because not all my students are ready for that type of instruction. Knowing that inquiry comes in many different shapes and sizes helped me realize that inquiry is very possible in a third grade classroom!
