  17. The Inquiry Process

  18. Mindtools When working with technologies, why not ask learners to do what they do best- conceptualize, organize, and solve problems- and technologies to do what they do best- memorize and retrieve? That way, you’ll realize a synergy from the student using the computer. • Learning With Technology, Jonassen, Peck and Wilson, 1999

  19. The Mindtools Webbing / Inspiration Timelines / Timeliner Graphing & Charts / Graph Club, Appleworks Multimedia Presentations / Hyperstudio, PowerPoint Databases / AppleWorks, FileMaker Pro Writing Process / Appleworks, Word, Hollywood High, Inspiration

  20. Learners are Designers The people who learn the most from instructional materials are the people who design and produce them, not the learners for whom the materials are intended. • Jonassen, Wilsen, Wang, and Grabinger (1993)

  21. Elements of a Project Gathering Materials Project Guidelines Project Ideas & Choices Production Tools Learning Logs Group Meetings Rubrics (with student input) Time for Celebration and Reflection

  22. True Facilitation Inquiry isn’t just asking and answering a question. It involves searching for significant questions and figuring out how to explore those questions from many perspectives. •Learning Together Through Inquiry, Short, Schroeder, Laird, Kauffman, Ferguson, and Crawford, 1996 Role of the Media Specialist Essential Questions Getting There

  23. Where to Start • Start slow with what you know • Design short, easy inquiry projects at first • Pick one phase to start on • Sequentially add pieces on subsequent projects

  24. Thanks!

  25. Essential Questions • Asking the right questions (students and teachers) is imperative! • Ill-structured questions are best: • Involves posing problems which are messy and do not have one correct answer • Can involve controversial issues which will elicit diverse opinions • Problems are not straight forward • Real-world type problems • Requires higher-level thinking skills
