Amazing new tools, materials and skills turn us all into makers. Using technology to make, repair or customise the things we need brings engineering, design and computer science to the masses. Fortunately for educators, this maker movement overlaps with the natural inclinations of children and the power of learning by doing. The active learner is at the center of the learning process, amplifying the best traditions of progressive education. This book helps educators bring the exciting opportunities of the maker movement to every classroom.In this practical guide, Sylvia Martinez and Gary Stager provide K-12 educators with the how, why, and cool stuff that supports making in the classroom, library, makerspace, or anywhere learners learn.", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2845\/book-invent-to-learn.jpg", "product_brand_id": "2", "product_price": "71.5000", "product_price_ex_tax": 71.5, "product_price_local_tax": "71.5000", "product_created_datetime": "2024-04-22 06:02:51", "product_code": "NZ_5529", "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "1", "product_inventory_level": null, "product_uri": "\/products\/developing-a-vision-5568-2896\/" }, { "product_id": "2272", "product_title": "Guided Inquiry Design Starter Kit", "product_content": "These resources will assist you to reinforce the Guided Inquiry Design concepts in your school and assist students with their learning in your library.Choose from either the Primary Kit or the Secondary Kit depending on your schools needs.This product Includes:Guided Inquiry Design: A framework for Inquiry in your School (#5569) Guided Inquiry Design in Action: Middle School (#7948) Guided Inquiry Design in Action: Elementary School (#7562)(PRIMARY KIT ONLY) Guided Inquiry Design in Action: High School (#7744)(SECONDARY KIT ONLY) Guided Inquiry Design Digital Downloadable Resource (#8007)- includes license to use Guided Inquiry Design Icons in your school- PDF Guided Inquiry Design Posters (Colour & B&W)- 19 Guided Inquiry Design support activities A set of 9 A3 Guided Inquiry Design Laminated Posters (#9516)", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2272\/guided-inquiry-design-starter-kit.jpg", "product_brand_id": "2", "product_price": "452.5400", "product_price_ex_tax": 452.54, "product_price_local_tax": "452.5400", "product_created_datetime": "2022-01-31 11:24:01", "product_code": "NZ_5399d", "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "1", "product_is_shipping_required": "1", "product_inventory_level": null, "product_uri": "\/products\/guided-inquiry-design-starter-kit\/" }, { "product_id": "2273", "product_title": "Guided Inquiry Design Starter Kit (Primary)", "product_content": "This Guided Inquiry Design Starter Kit (Primary) will assist you to reinforce the Guided Inquiry Design concepts in your school and assist students with their learning in your library.

However, making inquiry learning work requires effective collaboration in schools and resolving the conflict between teaching 21st-century skills while also adhering to content-heavy syllabuses and meeting accountability standards.In Guided Inquiry Goes Global: Evidence-Based Practice In Action, author Lee FitzGerald, a teacher librarian with 25 years' experience, in both primary and secondary schools, and who has experimented with the developing practice for more than 10 years places guided inquiry (GI) in an international context of curricular and technological change. She provides an essential and succinct background on GI; explains where it fits in the curriculum; and provides practical guidance in creating GI tasks, operating GI tasks in real-world teaching situations, and overcoming barriers to successful implementation of guided inquiry. You'll gain insight into the evidence for the effectiveness of GI, understand how students interpret and use the GI process, grasp the critical teaching role of the teacher librarian in GI, and appreciate the value of collaboration in making GI work for you and your students. The final chapters of the book identify ways of dealing with common \"roadblocks\" along the path to acceptance of GI that were developed from interviews with practicing teacher librarians in Australia, France, Sweden, and the United States.FeaturesSupplies practical and detailed guidelines for implementing guided inquiry and breaking down barriers to its successful implementation.
