Inquiry Reflection

Throughout my free inquiry process, I personally learned about ways I could run a classroom website. As someone not drawn to technology on an everyday basis it was a great opportunity to practice these skills in order to use them later in my professional life. A few of my favourites were screen casting, sketch noting and learning about making my content more accessible. In this reflection post, I discuss assistive technology and was able to learn how to add my own closed captioning to youtube videos. I feel like i successfully used some of the basic tools in my weekly inquiry posts, however, I could have challenged myself further to use some of the more technological tools such as screen casting to creatively show my inquiry process.

Moreover, I enjoyed experiencing what the inquiry process is like, how it can be beneficial to my students in the future and what its benefits are. I loved the see, think, wonder example shared on our classroom website. Where the kindergarten teacher uses a simplified inquiry model with her kindergarten classroom in order to get them thinking more critically about the world around them. Overall, this experience was extremely beneficial and I will be taking my learning with me into my future professional practice! I hope to challenge myself to step outside of my comfort zone and try new ways of engaging in the educational profession.
