EDIM 513: u01a1 Developing an Understanding of Inquiry Based Learning

 Create a blog entry that describes how your thoughts about inquiry based learning have developed over the past week. What new insights have you developed? Has anything changed? Are there any "burning questions" that you feel need to be answered?


When first logging in for this course, I had the idea that inquiry based learning was something that was going to be difficult to incorporate into my classroom. I believed that this kind of learning was going to be chaotic with little structure. Keeping in mind the students that I have in my classroom and knowing their personalities and learning abilities, I was concerned that I would not be able to use inquiry based learning. After reading the information in Topic C and learning more about what IBL actually is, I realized that with some forethought and planning, I could make it work with my students. With the right topic and lesson, inquiry based learning could be very beneficial in my instruction. With that in mind, I would like to read more about how other teachers have incorporated it into their classrooms with examples and advice for best practices.
