Inquiry Based Learning

Inquiry based learning offers an opportunity for students to seek what they want to learn through a series of questions.  This week we had the opportunity to conduct a lesson that involved inquiry which allowed for the class to pose questions about what it is to be Canadian.  In order for students to broaden their range of questions, we offered a means for which students can pose their questions for others to see through an online resource.   This gave everyone an opportunity to think about new questions that they may not have thought of otherwise.

                We want students to constantly be questioning things.  It is through questioning that students can learn things and perhaps retain better since it’s something that they were truly curious about.
