  • OQMSMRB Nov 12 @ 7:07 PM EST
    A1 T's and Ss have used Inquiry to begin units, explore topics in depth or to examine perspectives. Instead of telling Ss what to learn it is set up to help Ss learn. #sschat #oqms #sd113a
  • MrMurphy_OQMS Nov 12 @ 7:07 PM EST
    Q1: We have been creating lessons in which Ss become "experts" on documents, roles, or primary sources, and then share with other Ss to engage them in taking ownership while teaching others. #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:07 PM EST
    Q1: How do you use inquiry to boost student engagement? #sschat

  • MsHolmesTeach Nov 12 @ 7:07 PM EST
    Q1 for tonight's #sschat!
  • slauer113a Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: I use student inquiry during our Application Problems in math. I never tell students how to solve the problems, rather let them use inquiry based learning to solve on their own and then share their strategies with the class. #sd113a #sschat
  • drorzel Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: Inquiry is important to boost student engagement because it gives Ss opportunities to think, reflect, and learn without being "fed" an answer from a textbook. It's a real-life skill and opportunity #sschat
  • andermm1 Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: I use inquiry to boost ss engagement in science class by encouraging ss to develop good scientific questions and when able, allowing them to test out their ideas #sschat #sd113A
  • kimdarche Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    How cool is that! I would love to learn more. #sschat
    In reply to @CHitch94
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    Welcome Erica! Glad you are here with us on #sschat
    In reply to @TeachingSpeaks
  • MrRoughton Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1) Start with a narrative hook. Everyone loves a good mystery! #sschat
  • mmurlasits303 Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    A1: We try to use inquiry questions that spark students’ natural curiosity, especially giving them questions that make them think about topics and are contrary to their beliefs #sschat
  • jonbartelt Nov 12 @ 7:08 PM EST
    Sure interested in the answers to this question! #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1: I use inquiry as a way to try and hook students into the lesson. Then they are more excited about the topic (hopefully). #sschat
  • dmfouts Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1 You use it as a habit.. it has to be a routine over time. Engagement will come. #sschat
  • phillbmartin00 Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1: With my religious studies course, I allow student inquiry to drive the curriculum and instruction. I have that freedom due to not having a state test. This is a luxury I don't have with WHI #sschat
  • mrshayELA_sd735 Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1 We approach every unit as if we are forensic scientists, asking not what happened but why it did and how it affected events that followed. Students investigate rather than regurgitate #sschat #engagement
  • MKelleher13 Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1. I use inquiry, by allowing students to explore the internet to inform their ideas. Most recently, giving student the time to research candidates in the election to learn about resposible voting. #osussmce #sschat
  • PSNTPS Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    Looking for some new ideas on teaching an oldie but goodie? https://t.co/EpwpfL2faB #tlchat #sschat #engchat #elemchat #edchat #primarysources #gettysburgaddress #games4ed
  • kimdarche Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1 - I use inquiry with my higher ed students by asking "What if...?" and "Why not...?" Just those two questions boost inquiry and curiousity. They also kick off my most favorite podcast. #sschat
  • mcgaugheyj Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1: As a teacher, framing lessons and units around compelling questions or a structured academic controversy allowed students to engage differently in the topic. The learning shifted more from fact finding to thinking and problem solving. #sschat
  • MaiteBustosYan1 Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    Howdy! My name is Maite and I'm a senior pre-service teacher at Texas A&M University. I am so excited for my first Twitter education chat! #sschat
  • MrsChromcakOQ Nov 12 @ 7:09 PM EST
    A1: I like to use inquiry because it allows Ss a chance for Hands on learning. It gets them actively engaged and encourages future learning #sschat #sd113a
  • kendallleegiles Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    Hi! I’m Kendall Giles. I’m a senior Secondary Ed/ History major at Clemson University. #sschat
  • CHitch94 - Moderator Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1) While HS Ss aren't always used to being encouraged to ask questions, they HAVE them. If you can build learning experiences around their questions & things that are relevant to them, you get buy in. #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    So true! We use some HSI lessons at times to try and use the mystery! #sschat

  • kwillmann Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1 Engagement is the point of inquiry. Hard to get really engaged studying for a multiple choices test. #sschat
  • historytechie Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A2 We start out units off with the the QFT from @RightQuestion to spark student interest in world. Opportunities for Ss to explore area of interest in units. #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    Thank you for joining us. Lots of great answers to this #sschat question.
    In reply to @jonbartelt
  • ErinJSocStudies Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    Q1: Introducing a topic and letting students' questions about that topic help guide the unit #sschat #osussmce
  • mrshayELA_sd735 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1 lots of #DBQ type work that challenge students to look for bias; some of these are updated for modern parallel scenarios #sschat
  • ProGTB101 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    #sschat A1: By using inquiry a teacher can make students more interested in the topic at hand. By giving the student more hand on experience they will be more willing to converse in student discussion.
  • kimdarche Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    I freaking LOVE all these preservice teachers here tonight - my heart is going pitter patter. #sschat
    In reply to @MaiteBustosYan1
  • GeoJo22 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1 Students love asking questions. Inquiry is the opportunity to that and more. #sschat
  • abbybaytes Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1: teachers can use inquiry to boost student engagement by providing students with content that is interesting/relevant to them- this motivates them to critically think on their own #sschat
  • BeRichard97 Nov 12 @ 7:10 PM EST
    A1: Present students with primary sources from the time you're studying, and pose a question they've got to answer from the perspective of someone in that time period. #sschat
  • historyfriend Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1 - Designed a project where students are keeping research journals abt Renaissance, Reformation and Sci Rev. They are letting curiosity & their own questions frame their learning. Guiding question is "What would Leonardo do?" Model is Leonardo da Vinci & his notebooks #sschat
  • caranowou Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    Ken from Western Oregon University and Center for Geography Education in Oregon. Also, enjoy talking inquiry #sschat
  • MarkieeMark09 Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    Hey guys my name is Mark Thompson and I am a senior at Clemson University! I am majoring in History and Secondary Education #sschat
  • MrBravoo13 Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1: I have used inquiry by having students come up with their own steps and strategies for solving a problem or issue. Then I have them share with their classmates. This way it’s more interactive instead of giving them the information. #sschat #osussmce
  • HansonColleen Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1: In Science we start with a question &/or phenomena (something with WOW reactions) to make students curious and what to know more. #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    Loe this! #sschat
    In reply to @mrshayELA_sd735
  • TeachingSpeaks Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    Q1: The challenge is balancing covering the mandated standards while allowing room for student inquiry. #sschat
  • historytechie Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1 Ss have so many ideas. We need to ask their opinions and curiosities more. More buy in if we address their curiosities. #sschat
  • BAKetcham2009 Nov 12 @ 7:11 PM EST
    A1: Most of my activating activities in class deal with S’s brainstorming topics #sschat
  • kimdarche Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    Go @ClemsonUniv - your preservice teachers are kickin' it big time in the #sschat :D

      In reply to @NevinM_17
  • MrRoughton Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1) Visuals can also serve inquiry well. My kids analyzed modern photos of Florence for Medici influence and were WAY into it. #sschat
  • mrshayELA_sd735 Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1 pair parallel texts to see how (and why) different textbooks portray the same event in such different ways). #sschat
  • dmfouts Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1 Share multiple perspectives on the one theme before introducing a primary source aligned to the same theme #sschat
  • erickskm1 Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1: Having students start out with asking as many questions as they can in small groups, give them real life scenarios and problems to work through or a simulation they can lead themselves such as a mock trial. #sschat
  • JDeSilvia Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    Q1: Inquiry can be incorporated into a social studies classroom by allowing students to develop and defend their interpretations of history rather than teaching them the interpretation set in the textbook. Students are interested in learning when they have more autonomy! #sschat
    In reply to @NevinM_17
  • mcgaugheyj Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    So great that so many inservice teachers and students at colleges and universities are participating in tonight's #sschat! It's fantastic that professors and students are understanding the power that Twitter holds for professional development.
  • caranowou Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A1 Inquiry by its very nature, which requires students investigating sources, can't help but boost student engagement and curiosity #sschat
  • historytechie Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
    A3 Love the Inquiry Arc & hyperdocs to have Ss #DOhistory and engage with the content. #sschat
  • PitonzoM Nov 12 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1: I use inquiry with my 7th graders at multiple places in our lessons! Including incorporating inquiry in our station lessons! #sschat
  • LittleFiresELA Nov 12 @ 7:13 PM EST
    #sschat
    • LittleFiresELA Nov 12 @ 7:12 PM EST
      A1: Inquiry is great for helping students explore a topic with the direct intention of gaining more knowledge. Two best q’s for engaging with text: What’s being said? What’s not being said?
  • _on11 Nov 12 @ 7:13 PM EST
    What time is #sschat, Kim? I'm still at school working on some lighting stuff for our play.

    In reply to @kwillmann
  • historyfriend Nov 12 @ 7:13 PM EST
    A1 In US History, we start each thematic unit by asking students what their questions are - often about current events. We make sure that students have time to answer those questions throughout unit. #sschat

  • bishop_derek Nov 12 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A1 - In my current unit, I used photos from the Great Depression to generate student questions about the problems faced by Americans at that time. The process generated a lot of student interest. #SSchat

    Inquiry is a great way to get students interested in what they’re learning! In a SS class it can be used to delve deeper into topics rather than just simply learning the facts. #sschat

  • BeRichard97 Nov 12 @ 7:15 PM EST
    A1 (again): I had a teacher who always "set the stage" before using this method, sort of turned the whole learning experience into a dramatic and engaging conversation for the whole class (though we were occasionally split into groups) #sschat
  • MrMurphy_OQMS Nov 12 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A2: Inquiry design model allows for Ss to take an active role in the process. In the beginning we guide the Ss by choosing the topics and resources used, and by the end the Ss are creating products that answer their own essential questions and demonstrate knowledge gained #sschat
  • NevinM_17 Nov 12 @ 7:16 PM EST
    Q2: How does inquiry enhance classroom instruction? #sschat
  • OQMSMRB Nov 12 @ 7:16 PM EST
    A2: Inquiry builds on natural curiosity and helps Ss become thinkers and problem solvers rather than memorizing and forgetting info later. #sschat #oqms #sd113a
  • SamWerblow Nov 12 @ 7:16 PM EST

      Q1: Inquiry can be incorporated into a social studies classroom by allowing students to develop and defend their interpretations of history rather than teaching them the interpretation set in the textbook. Students are interested in learning when they have more autonomy! #sschat

  • historyfriend Nov 12 @ 7:17 PM EST
    I have the advantage of students who chose to be in an Inquiry/PBL section. They love creating an artifact of their learning - combination of notes, pictures and reflection. Also, they can start anywhere they want. Sharing is critical - learn from each other. #sschat

  • TheLoganqh Nov 12 @ 7:18 PM EST
    The best way to boost student engagement is finding a balance between fun and authoritative in teaching so that the students will trust you and respect you. Have small, but creative incentives for tests and small activities to keep them interested #sschat
  • erickskm1 Nov 12 @ 7:18 PM EST
    A2: Inquiry helps to develop a student-centered environment where they can take ownership of their own learning and progress. It also fosters a classroom of curiosity and comfort because questions are welcomed and required. #sschat

    A2: allowing students to question classroom instruction ensures there are no miscommunications and everyone knows what is expected of them/why it is important #sschat
  • kwillmann Nov 12 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2 - Inquiry changes the focus from the teacher saying, "I taught it" to the student saying, "I learned it." A fundamental shift. #sschat
  • kimdarche Nov 12 @ 7:19 PM EST
    A2 - Inquiry enhances instruction by the simple fact that is breeds interest and engagment. I still hold onto the dream that school is someplace people should want to come to...Inquiry and asking questions could be the silver bullet :) #sschat

  • MrBravoo13 Nov 12 @ 7:19 PM EST

  • MKelleher13 Nov 12 @ 7:21 PM EST

    Biggest 1st year tip? It's okay to admit you're drowning and ask for help from your colleagues and bosses. We all needed help. (We all still do). Worst mistake is hiding from the help you need out of shame/embarrassment/fear. Don't be afraid to ask for help. #sschat

  • OQMSMRB Nov 12 @ 7:45 PM EST

  • amanialtwam Nov 12 @ 7:46 PM EST

    A5: Sometimes I look for the types of questions generated. Other times, I'm looking for the Ss to support their answer w/evidence. Occasionally, b/c it's a tough skill, I'll look to see if they've gone beyond the surface evidence to make the less obvious connections #sschat
  • phillbmartin00 Nov 12 @ 7:47 PM EST
    A5: I find it best to measure inquiry in a digital space. Many students won't provide reflection and/or feedback in a physical setting. I'm always astounded by the responses I get on Padlet or a discussion forum, as opposed to an oral class discussion #sschat

    A5 I haven't taught a lesson yet, but I think inquiry can be measured in student projects/reflections upon those projects. Reflections require the students to examine what worked for them and what didn't, and how to change it for the next time. #sschat
