Inquiry Gallery Walk

Friday, students in Ms. Dierbeck's class joined us to kickoff our new inquiry unit. We looked at various photos that depicted events and objects related to our new unit: Northeast and Southeast Regions. Instead of writing down background knowledge and questions on post-it notes, students met in a "backchannel" chat room on a website called "Today's Meet". Using Today's Meet, students shared their thoughts, questions, and answers to questions. Mr. Hill and Ms. Nuss even joined the students in the chat. The students had a great time and benefited from the real time chat with classmates! Check out our Posterous page for photos.
