Inquiry by Nathan Garneau https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks What does inquiry mean to you? What is the teacher doing? What are the students doing? en-us 2022-06-15 13:07:23 UTC 2022-06-24 13:38:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Inquiry means students are exploring topics of interest to them to create real-world meaning in what they are learning. Teachers should be guiding students by providing resources, asking probing questions, or giving options. Students should be asking questions, talking to each other, doing research, and making their own decisions. brittanyrieg10 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2227077964 2022-06-21 18:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2227077964 What does inquiry mean to you? What does it look like in the classroom? What is the teacher doing? What are the students doing? alyssagirod1_3 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2228059293 Inquiry means students diving into topics that are interesting to them and learning new things based on their findings. Using this desire to learn more is inquiry. In a classroom inquiry is like a detective game... students are given "clues" if you will and the teacher is there to help guide them, but ultimately the students determine things through patterns they notice and are encouraged to find things even the teacher didn't necessarily see at first. The teacher is walking around but encouraging students to determine their own paths to finding the answers and encouraging them to see their own methods to solving problems. Students may be working independently or together and using each other's strengths to find answers and new discoveries. ]]> 2022-06-22 17:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2228059293 susanlyons5 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2228884042 Inquiry means to go on a quest to find insight and answers to a question.

Teacher: Not giving answers, but following up with questions that allows students to think about what they have researched or found out so far as well as which direction they need to take to reach a destination. Probing students and pushing their thinking.

Student: Using all resources to answer a question. Questioning their peers. Showing different perspectives on a topic. Exploring through experiments in order to make new discoveries.]]> 2022-06-23 13:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2228884042 gladysokugbeni1_2 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2228998468 Inquiry is asking thoughtful questions to obtain knowledge beyond what is known.also inquiry described as asking thoughtful questions to obtain knowledge beyond what is known.Inquiry seeks out knowledge without a particular question in mind – it just wants to have new experiences that are thought-provoking or different from what it already knows. Inquiry can sometimes lead people down paths of new discoveries about the world around them, which takes us back to what we said before about researchers being people who go through this process.  


inquiry-based learning in the classroom uses different strategies to learning, including small-group discussion and guided learning. Instead of memorizing facts and material, students learn by doing. This allows them to build knowledge through exploration, experience, and discussion.


Teachers use inquiry-based learning to promote student engagement. It's used to activate a student's curiosity.


An inquiry approach encourages students to:
  ask thought-provoking questions
  investigate widely and deeply
  make sense of information to build new knowledge
  develop a solution or formulate opinions
  present or share their new understanding with others
  have a valuable learning experience that leads to taking some form of action
 reflect on what they learned and how they learned it.

The teacher's role should be to: present the topic or framing that spurs the questions; push students to use precise discourse when asking and answering their questions; and clarify and correct factual stuff when necessary. The students should be the primary agents of learning, and should feel increasingly empowered to explore what they wonder about.]]> 2022-06-23 16:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229047244 Inquiry https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229767383 Inquiry to me is being intentional how we guide students learning. In a inquriy based classroom the teacher is not simply the provider of information for students to absorb and then spill out on a page for a test, but a facilitator who guides the curious minds.]]> 2022-06-24 12:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229767383 Inquiry emilygoldstein3_3 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229802813 Inquiry means teachers being facilitators and students being explorers, questioners, and drivers of their own learning. Teachers should provide probing questions and support, but they should also be intentional about the activities that allow students to explore on their own. I think it's important for us as teachers to be mindful of not hand-holding or giving into students saying "I don't get it" "can you help me" because we need to build up the skills for students to have the confidence to discover new concepts. ]]> 2022-06-24 13:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229802813 Inquiry means having a genuine curiosity for something and acting on that curiosity. In the classroom it looks like students naturally asking questions to understand the content they are curious about. The teacher is facilitating conversations where students can discover the answers to their own questions. Students are engaging in conversations with each other to uncover answers to their own questions. https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229805380 2022-06-24 13:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229805380 emilygoldstein3_3 https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229825355 Inquiry needs to be relevant and culturally inclusive! ]]> 2022-06-24 13:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nathangarneau4/Bookmarks/wish/2229825355
