Project Goal: Using the front matter of the revised Social Studies curriculum Document as our common content, what is the impact of a collaborative online community in assisting us to implement inquiry-based learning in our classrooms?
Our Goal:
- Telling our stories / journey using Google sites
- Hoping to answer how we can begin to implement the introduction of the new Social Studies Curriculum through the lens of inquiry
- Looking at how an online collaborative community supports teachers with its implementation
- Looking to see how we can document the transition from teacher-directed learning to student-based inquiry
- Keeping in mind how assessment fits into the inquiry framework
