Inquiry in the PYP-L.A.A.S. Lonati Anglo-American School by Pyp Coordinator https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh Workshop reflection and feedback. en-us 2017-03-01 13:12:56 UTC 2025-11-29 16:36:17 UTC hello@padlet.com Reflection Day 1 pypcoordinator7 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/157320539 Review your question. Has it been answered? What new questions do you have now? 

I used to think inquiry is...
And now I think inquiry is...

Please provide more....
Please do less ......]]> 2017-03-02 14:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/157320539 Day 1: I used to think that inquiry is a process where the teacher guides the students to make connections and sense of the information learned. Now I think that cooperation between students and teachers is crucial for inquiry and that teachers need to reflect upon and apply different strategies in order to inspire students and encourage their personal-inquiry. Please provide more examples of how personal-inquiry can be encouraged within a classroom and different strategies to do so. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417927 2017-03-11 07:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417927 Reflection Day 1 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417928 I enjoyed the tasks that were set for us and the clip was interesting but I still have lots of questions about inquiry that I am a little bit confused about. ]]> 2017-03-11 07:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417928 reflection day 1 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417934 I used to think inquiry is student initiated, on the fly learning where you build on students background knowledge and interests.
Now, I think to build on their background knowledge we need really personal experiences for them to connect with.
I still have questions about how inquiry can work when you feel you don't have the resources you need. Is it acceptable to ask students to do the research on thier own at home? And then, unpack the information at school? What if they don't have the resources at home or do not do the research?]]> 2017-03-11 07:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417934 Reflection Day 1: https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417936 My questions concerned types of student action and holding students responsible for their own learning. The first was not clearly addressed (maybe it will be so on Day 2). However, the second was addressed. The strategies provided (and which we completed together as a group) gave me an awareness of ways to have students inquire more actively and take greater responsibility for their own learning. I will explore more strategies to use.
I used to think that inquiry took lots of time and resources, but now I think that it is easily possible to bring inquiry to life and in a flash. ]]> 2017-03-11 07:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417936 Reflection: Day 1 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417946 Day 1 was extremely intriguing. Mr. Palmer was really enthusiastic and kept us on our toes throughout the day. The workshop opened my mind with regard to different methods of teaching as well as learning. I still believe that I have much more to learn and possibly many more ways to integrate various strategies into my teaching methods. I am surely looking forward to Day 2. ]]> 2017-03-11 07:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417946 Yestarday was very interesting. I'm thinking to use what Mr.Palmer said not only in my "job life" but also during my personal life. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417948 The life of a teacher is "life learn learning" and you must be greatfull for that.
Using the inquiry inside our lessons is very helpfull because you can work on that and grown up with your students, every day.

]]> 2017-03-11 07:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417953 I don't really think that question has been answered, although I have been given new information that could potentially help me answer my own question, as my question was about specific activities that we can use to encourage inquiry in classrooms with young students. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417956 I used to think that inquiry was a way to approach teaching and learning that is student-centered and mainly student-driven. My understanding of inquiry hasn't changed much. Actually, I feel a bit confused after the workshop. Could you please provide more information about how to implement inquiry in the classroom with some examples of activities that have worked well at your school?]]> 2017-03-11 07:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417956 I liked that we had to collaborate and share our ideas with our group members and with the whole group. That was very insightful as I learn better when I work with others. However, I still have many doubts, I would like to learn more about inquiry, how to help my students and improve my teaching. I understood that it is fine to start the inquiry asking questions and provoking our students, that was what I was doing up to now. I used to think that wasn't the way we were supposed to do it. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417958 2017-03-11 07:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417958 Yesterday was very helpful, especially the different techniques used to get us talking and participating. My ideas about inquiry haven't changed, I just find it difficult to take the theory and put it into practice. I find it easier to think of hypothetical examples and situations, yet difficult to incorporate my ideas with my class. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417964 2017-03-11 07:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417964 Day 1 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417966 I found it very useful to share with others the concepts found in Robinson's video. In general, this course has provided me with many new techniques which I can incorporate into my lessons. ]]> 2017-03-11 07:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417966 https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417968 Yesterday was very helpful and made me think in more depth about how we can organise our classes and how we can put it into practise .
inquiry is a learning curve and so we use it throughout our lives and this is something that we would like the children to learn.
However, I still think that this is not so easy to install.
It was also extremely helpful to listen to others, their experiences and concerns.

]]> 2017-03-11 07:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159417968 Yesterday was great experience to me to understand better inquiry . https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159418048 I appreciate everyone's great sharing. I understand as a team how to cooperate with each other is very important . These informations help me to understand inuquiry is a method and not a stance .this helps me to understand  in the future how i should plan my lessons and how i can help students to inquiry .

]]> 2017-03-11 07:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159418048 Day 1: I think that the workshop we had gave me some important tools to use during my class time with students. It was very useful to share and hear other teachers’ ideas and experiences. I realised how important it is to find diversified strategies to engage the students and help them follow my lessons. I also reflected on the fact that my role should concentrate on trying to get the students to communicate more and not concentrate immediately on the academic achievements. https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159418129 2017-03-11 07:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159418129 Day https://padlet.com/pypcoordinator7/okw1ss0jbwgh/wish/159442748 I have learnt a lot over the past two days.
Thank you
