Inquiry & Innovation July 26 8:45 Session by JEnnifer Baxter https://padlet.com/jjbaxter/ef5a5d9srudf Cultivating Curiosity, Agency, & the 5 C's en-us 2018-07-17 14:56:17 UTC 2025-12-31 15:32:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jjbaxter/ef5a5d9srudf/wish/271199759 It would be great to maintain a "Curiosity Journal" on padlet or slides or some other communal platform so that the students canbe encouraged to continue to ask questions and collaborate at any time. I think as students learn the procedures and expectations of a classroom the structure naturally discourages creativity. This might help this challenge.
