Gever Tulley teaches life lessons through tinkering | Video on TED.com

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!

Inquiry-Based Learning



What an easy, fun way to describe Inquiry Learning!!!

Using teaching as inquiry to guide an eLearning action plan

This video tells you how using "teaching as an inquiry" cycle informs  e learning action plans.  A good example of how teachers work through the process.

Making Mistakes is Positive

This is great - links to Inquiry Learning...Some focus ideas for the classroom...Get your kids to watch it and see what they say. It could be a whole language discussion.  All about learning, how they learn, why they learn, where the information is, how to access it, the importance / place of presentation vs information as well as the importance and place of mistakes in learning.
