Inquiry Based Learning
EDIM 513
I wouldn't say any of my thoughts about inquiry have changed over the past couple weeks. I believe in inquiry and utilizing inquiry-based strategies in the classroom. My biggest obstacle has been, and probably always will be, finding the adequate amount of time to devote to inquiry on top of everything else we're required to accomplish. That aside, I've most enjoyed learning about different Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning in the classroom. I'm keeping a running list of tools I would like to try out as the school year starts. It's very easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of resources, so I think it's important to just stick with one or two tools instead of trying everything at once. By trying too many, you run the risk of not truly exploring the possibilities within the tool and unorganized projects. When choosing a tool, it's imperative that it serves multiple purposes and is user friendly. I'd like to spend time this year maximizing all the tools within Google and also a new presentation tool such as Glogster or Prezi. As we begin to wrap up this course, I look forward to discovering ways to maximize these tools to conduct inquiry efficiently and effectively in my classroom.
