Weaving

I am one of those crazy visual learners. So, I used Webspiration to organize my random thoughts. It can be viewed at

This process has reminded me of one of the more simple models mentioned in Callison and Preddy's The Blue Book, the Inquiry Page model by Bertram C. Bruce and the Inquiry Project. I've asked, investigated, created, discussed (with my husband), and am about to reflect. I've done this over and over throughout the process. Often the reflection on the process is left out at times and this could be a real disservice to students. Without time dedicated to reflection or debriefing, how would a student determine waht went wrong and what went really well? This is where the expertise of the media specialist and/or classroom teacher comes in. The process of inquiry is every bit as important to learn as the content of the research inquiry. These are just some thoughts that I have as I wrap this up.
