Questionnare 3

1. Take some time to think about your topic. Now write down what you know about it.

 There is so much still till learn about Information Litearcy, Guided Inquiry and Inquiry based learning but I believe I am getting my head finally around what all these terms mean and how to incorporate them into teaching.  I have realised that hands on, active learning and questioning - inquiry based learning are essential parts of teaching and the importance of these in all parts of school. I have also realised that there are many models of inquiry based learning and information litearcy models out there not just the Big 6 model that could benefit teaching and the impact of learning. Also Google is not the be all and end all in searching. There are many different databases out there for all students to search. I believe teachers need to realise this to encouarge their students to search in other places rather than Google.
