During our research for the phases framework, we stumbled across the following breakdown of the inquiry process for learning on 21stcenturyhsie.weebly.com (who offer the references that appear below the graphic). Most helpfully, it offers 20 questions that can guide student research at any stage, including:
What do I want to know about this topic? How do I know I know it? What kinds of resources might help? How do I know the info is valid? Does my research raise new questions? And, in a nod to digital and social media, How do I use media to express my message?
In this first three-part post, John Larmer describes how he and co-author Susie Boss answered the question in their newly published book, 'PBL for 21st Century Success: Teaching Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Creativity'. In the next post, Deborah Esparza will review the book from "the field". For the final post, co-author Susie Boss has been invited to explain why she and John choose this topic.

Regardless of what social and emotional learning (SEL), character development, or any other related program you might use in your school, two things are true: They have a problem-solving component, and generalization is greatly enhanced when what is being taught as SEL/character is also integrated into the rest of the school day.
Because of the importance of language arts skills, reading activities provide an ideal way to build students' problem-solving skills by applying them to deepen their insights into the written materials.
Entre l'invention de la machine à calculer (1645) et celle du Minitel (1982), 350 années se sont écoulées au cours desquelles la France a fait avancer les lignes grâce à de multiples inventions : dans les transports (automobile, aérostat, avion, TGV, Concorde), en médecine (Braille, pasteurisation et vaccination, BCG, radiologie et radiothérapie), en physique (machine à vapeur, électromagnétisme, radioactivité, mécanique ondulatoire, détecteurs de particules), dans les arts visuels (photographie, cinématographe), dans les arts de la table (Champagne, conservation des aliments), dans les hautes technologies (carte à puce, Minitel)… Au fil du temps, ces inventions ont contribué à changer le monde.
