Reading. Thinking. Planning. (about my next field study inquiry question)

Read an interesting blog today...

Here is the link:http://whatedsaid.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/10-ways-school-has-changed/

It talks about how classrooms are changing & the way in which we teach is changing.  One point that really grabbed my attention (as I am thinking about doing my next field study on the topic of genius hour) was:"We used to teach everything we wanted students to know… Now we know learning can take place through student centred inquiry"

This is what I want to do next term.  Give the students an hour a week to research their own inquiry project, and let their imaginations and interests guide their learning (instead of me).
