There are many ways teachers can use technology in creative ways to promote inquiry. I recently joined the Global Ozone Project to measure local ozone and black carbon levels. We were loaned the equipment and sensors to take walking treks to measure data and then it was uploaded to the GO3 website. Students joined the site so they could blog about the data.
Here is a link to our first trek-- MHS Parking Lot Trek
This project brings relevance to the classroom by involving students in an actual ongoing experiment. They get the chance to collect data, analyze it using Google Earth 3D mapping software and blog about their hypotheses/preliminary conclusions. My students can see treks from all over the world and make global connections!
How are you using technology in a novel way to promote critical thinking skills?
