Inquiry Based Learning Visual

Inquiry Based Learning Visual | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Another visual I use with students: inquiry approaches to learning - again, great to promote 'soft skills' #sunchat pic.twitter.com/NhnwNMeehv
Beth Dichter's insight:

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.

Wonderful article that points out some of the challenges of Standards Based Learning as well as ways that instructors can maintain their own unique teaching styles and interests.  Great article for discussion in PD meetings, online learning, and teacher prep courses!
