The document discusses using digital technologies to support inquiry-based learning. It suggests employing tools to allow students to investigate, create, and communicate as part of the learning process. This moves away from traditional teacher-led "one right answer" approaches towards student-centered learning with the teacher as a facilitator. Resources provided include a YouTube video on inquiry-based learning, a downloadable rubric, and a website that reviews apps to help transform teaching and learning using a variety of strategies and technologies.
