Discovery Time maybe not quite like this within our school but this is excellent example of what we as teachers need to allow students to do "Take Risks" and allow self directed learning. The students get the opportunity to use their imaginations and creative problem solving. When given the tools, material and guidance the world is definitely their oyster!
This blog is a platform for me to share my professional ideas and reflections within ICT / Inquiry, also other curriculum areas within my classroom, syndicate, whole school and other networks of learning over and above the classroom. If you so desire please leave a comment, collaboration is the key to all future learning opportunities!

Yes. The kids need more ownership and more choices about how they learn and how they show others what they have learned. If they have more choices - they are more engaged. This means less behaviour problems to sort out.
