Inquiry-based learning is an active learning process, based on identifying relevant questions to research so that the student can develop knowledge about or create solutions to issues and problems.
Web tools allow students to engage in collaborative and interactive learning. All phases of inquiry learning can be adequately addressed through a wide variety of web-based tools and applications.
This webinar presents a range of tools that will support inquiry-based learning in the school's curriculum program.

Are you being asked to do STEM activities in your classes and workshops and have no idea where to start or have little to no budget? STEM education refers to teaching and learning, mostly hands-on, in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Integrating STEM activities in any discipline teaches how all things relate to each other, in school and in life. As a result, librarians, media specialists, and teachers are being asked to incorporate STEM learning activities into their curriculum, regardless of the subject matter, and many of these educators are unsure how to proceed. There are several ways to mix engaging STEM activities into your library programs and curriculum and this webinar will touch on the following and more to help you demystify STEM:
- Understand the importance of STEM education.
- Practice the four Cs of learning: collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.
- Collect best practices to create good and inexpensive (many free) STEM lessons.
- Teach 21st Century skills without technology.
- Learn strategies (e.g., productive struggle) to creatively solve real-world problems.
- Assess the success of your activities.
The power of adaptive learning media in the classroom. Learning is social. Bring the real world into the classroom and apply the learning to our real world life experiences. Make the learning real.
STEM learning enhances critical thinking, motivates experiments, and teamwork boosts curiosity, and enhances problem-solving skills. STEM education is a powerful tool that nourishes a child’s sense of wonder. In addition to the fundamentals of science, programming, engineering, electronics & coding, it offers children numerous benefits that contribute to their development.

In the changing global times, the educators must adopt the blended learning approach and gain knowledge about the new tools and techniques so that they can help their learners acquire digital literacy and problem solving. The educators are expected to recognize individual differences and design personalized learning opportunities to encourage critical and creative thinking.
Strijker & Fisser (2019 06-27) A future-proof curriculum with digital literacySaxion
In November 2014, the State Secretary for Education, Culture and Science of the Netherlands officially launched an online country-wide consultation about the future of Dutch education. Based on the outcomes and the ongoing debate, the Netherlands started the development of a new curriculum framework for primary and secondary education in 2018. One of the new themes in this curriculum is Digital Literacy, which is defined as a combination of ICT skills, media literacy, information literacy and computational thinking. Together with the other subjects (Dutch, Arithmetic/mathematics, English/modern foreign languages, Citizenship, Exercise & Sport, Art & Culture, Human & Nature, Human & Society) Digital Literacy will be part of the design of the new curriculum. A teacher design team for Digital Literacy developed a vision and elaborated this in eight so-called big ideas. Based on the big ideas learning trajectories were designed. These learning trajectories describe what students should learn in primary and secondary education.

Implementing a BYOD program at your school is only the beginning of a journey that should change teaching and learning. A personal device will only make a difference if the implementation includes pedagogical and curriculum review that focusses on inquiry learning and enables individualisation. This session outlines an implementation that incorporates an approach to inquiry learning through a lens of the Australian Curriculum.

GenWise parent presentation July 2020 for slideshare updatedGenWise TalentDev
GenWise is an organization based out of India that offers immersive learning experiences to school going children as well as lifelong learners. These learning experiences are offered online as well as in residential settings.
Slides used by GenWise to present at UNESCO MGIEP's TECH 2019 conference. The talk covers the need for educating students on complex causality and how this can be faciliatted through the use of simulation tools
Many children are interested in complex issues which involve visualizing effects of multiple factors over time and space, factoring in uncertainty, and adopting multiple perspectives. Technology-based tools like Netlogo, Loopy and Plectica, among others, enable school students to model such issues in a sophisticated manner. This talk at the NAGC convention 2019 shares our experience in using such tools with students.
Gifted learners are especially concerned about ecological, economic and social crises, and enabling them to grapple with such issues in a deep and systematic way is challenging. The experience of our team in applying systems thinking to facilitate contextual understanding, and using technology tools to develop an intuition for the behavior of complex systems was shared in this talk at the NAGC Convention in 2019. The principles are applicable for all children and not just gifted children.
This talk argues that education should equip learners to respond to a world in crisis. Responding to such a world requires learners to have the ability to think in terms of interconnected systems, depth of expertise in 1-2 fields and a broad appreciation of multiple fields. Such an individual is termed as a 'versatilist'- he or she can see problems or opportunities better and can engage collaboratively with people from other fields. GenWise's efforts towards building and offering such a curriculum are described.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

10. A WORD ON APTITUDE
“We have found that many people, for instance, discount their strongest
aptitudes, thinking that if something comes easily to them, why, surely
anyone can do it. Or perhaps they know someone so preternaturally gifted
that their own ability seems meager by comparison, when in fact they are
among the top rank of persons tested. Frequently a person has had little
opportunity for the kinds of activities that would have revealed his or her
gifts, or is aware of some strengths but not others.”- from ‘Understanding your
Aptitudes’, Johnson O’ Connor Foundation
NurturingtheChild’sPotential
11. THE CHALLENGES
1. Focus of the larger education system- examinations; ‘one-size-fits-all’
2. Pace of change
• what knowledge & skills most relevant in the future
• new knowledge and disciplines, new skills
• new mediums and technologies
3. The Internet- ‘Drowning in information, while starving for wisdom’
4. Identifying aptitudes and interests not easy (aptitudes concretize by age 14)
5. Big decisions during turbulence of adolescence

classroom type environments (school,
external tuition, etc.)
• Large portions of their free time spent on
devices, disconnected from the physical
world, barely moving their bodies or using
their hands
• Distractedness/ stress as a result of not
“inhabiting” their bodies
• Inherent privilege accorded to “mind”
knowledge, over “body” knowledge
