The inquiry page: a collaboratory for curricular innovation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Inquiry Page is a web site for collaborative curriculum development. It supports a range of activities in which educators are encouraged to investigate, create, discuss, and reflect. Teachers inquire through their access to resources on teaching and learning, including quotes about inquiry teaching, articles, project links, curriculum units, and content resources. They communicate with other teachers through various online communication media. They construct their own versions of curricula using an online inquiry unit generator. They express themselves through these units and through sharing both literal and textual photos of their classrooms.
