A1: Inquiry-based learning starts with allow students to inquire, question, and guide the learning process with scaffolds and support when needed. #mtedchat
A1: Inquiry-based learning starta with providing students opportunity to explore new information and/or ideas while you sit back and observe their process. #MTedchat
Hey everyone! Parent teacher conferences tonight and I’m getting sick so I’m pretty brain dead. Going to read the transcript for this one though because I love this topic! #mtedchat
So you are jumping ahead to after the teacher has the tools to begin the Inquiry Based Learning. Just checking to see where I need to base my answers. #MTEdchat
A2: Definitely re-sharing this link I shared earlier… Not every strategy listed is “inquiry” by definition, but all support engaging all voices in learning and critical thinking. https://t.co/bAEDbJhIbo
A2: If you consider this a protocol --- Only answering students' questions with a question. Using those questions to probe and get them to critically think about the answer. #mtedchat
A2: I could use probing questions. (I used that one on friends, too).
Adjusting or refocus questions, or simply use wait time for students to develop their thoughts.

Q3: How do the "Science and Engineering Practices" and the "Crosscutting Concepts" from the Next Generation Science Standards support Inquiry-Based Learning across all content areas? #MTedchat
A3: Let me answer without looking:
They require exposure to multiple other standards and some of those are connected deeply to still other standards. They tie in so much that to do well in one standard you need knowledge of others.
#MTEdchat
A3: We've shared how "Asking Questions" fits into inquiry learning. Another big SEP in inquiry-based learning is what problem are we trying to solve? What Patterns (CCC) already exist in our problem? How does this information help us design our investigation (SEP)? #mtedchat
A3: without currently being able to dig into my resources, I appreciate that all of the new standards…NGSS, Common color ELA and math, and technology standards are all largely verb-based. Learning is a skill and application more than general knowledge #MTedchat
Ahhh, but really their not necessarily content based. The SEP and CCCs are what make our content standards 3-dimensional. Within the SEP and CCCs are skills that can be applied when working on any type of content. They just happen to be part of the science standards. #MTEdchat
I learned "How" draws out the process and analysis of thinking.
"What" is needed to define the topic and vocabulary terms.
How do you know that Inquiry-Based Learning increases problem-solving skills?
What components of Inquiry-Based Learning increase problem-solving?
#MTEdchat
You're exactly right, Crista! It's about building skills, not necessarily about memorizing the content. The content is something to practice the skills shared in the SEP and CCCs. #MTedchat

A4: Let me think of a role Technology can not play in IBL.
It can't do the thinking for the teacher or the student. But it can bring all the resources together and be communication conduits for reflection, analysis, evaluation, iteration, design...
#MTEdchat
A4: Tech equals increased access. Students are now able to self-learn, when critical research skills are practice. we are far beyond the days that students had to reach for the nearest book available in the room. They can find answers, explore as deep as they would like #mtedchat
A4: Digital resources, like HyperDocs & Symbaloos, can be used to share resources w/students. Depending on the age of the students, the resources can be the ending point or the beginning of their investigations. Tech allows for collaboration and sharing of knowledge #mtedchat
I'm glad my thoughts were clear in my tweet.
I like asking questions. Different types of questions require different types of answers.
Ask @cristama, she knows my penchant for asking questions.
#MTEdchat
However, is it a bad thing to have them reach for hardbound books and read for information? It may take a little longer to process the content, but so many paths could be gone down and back to get to the right place.
Oh, that is where HOME comes in.
#MTEdchat
A5: (4 Pictures) Pose the question --- How do natural disasters impact the economy? Students could then design subquestions and begin researching those sub questions. Small groups of students decide how they are going to display what they've learned about the question #mtedchat
Q5: Love the first word! I'd have the students take each picture and write as many questions about them as possible.
They would then sort the questions based on visible (in the picture) answers and invisible (Not in the picture) answers.

Def not a bad thing to reach for hardbound books… But it is up to each system to be able to offer timely & relevant books that support learning. To me, access to online resources is equity issue. “Haves” able to keep libraries updated…”have nots, not-so-much. #mtedchat
Thanks. Since children begin as concrete thinkers, they ask questions based on what they see. As they begin to ask about the invisible, their minds start growing with more questions.
#MTEdchat
I was just talking to a teacher about this today. We were considering how we could use Phenomena for NGSS to support students in asking good questions: https://t.co/pVfWMNfN4f#MTEdchat
A6: When I was teaching, @jhenze44 and I had our students investigate fracking. We then gave students the opportunity to converse about a series of questions using Google Hangout and Voxer. It was pretty epic! #mtedchat
A6b: Oh! and video makeup tutorials and unboxing toys/electronics. The slow-motion videos of what happens when I place a hot/cold object on ...
