Edutopia has become my medium in carrying out learning activities with students, many new knowledge and learning strategies that I can. Continue to work edutopia, thank you

[@psdsmith4865]

My favorite part here was where you started showing that inquiry is NOT limited to science. Going to ART showed the kids the importance of inquiry. Ralson Elementary, thank you for sharing.

This method is very much how unschoolers homeschool. Interest based vs following curriculum.

This video reminds me of the inquiry continuum: Confirmation inquiry, structured inquiry, guided inquiry, and open inquiry. Inquiry-based learning is asking students to practice what they have learned to explore unknown concepts and unsolved questions. Such teaching strategies can be used in disciplines, like science. I wonder how inquiry-based learning can be used in literacy teaching.

It's a way to cope with the essential requirement in this fast-moving world.

Hi! Did you manage to change your school's system into inquiry learning environment?

[@mrc-rad916]

Great methods, but I wonder how much of those supplies the teachers paid for themselves.

[@joannekerr4973]

I love it

[@rmack9226]

SAME THOUGHT.
I'm teaching and finding that in order to meet most curriculum outcomes materials are needed, and my school will not purchase them.
