Throughout the duration of the course teachers will experience inquiry strategies in three different modes: a) as learners participating in inquiry-based learning; b) as teachers implementing inquiry-based strategies in their classes; and c) as researchers collecting, examining and interpreting data about their practice and their students' learning. The course will leverage an inquiry-based approach through hands-on sessions to experience the principles of inquiry-based learning, while introducing the basics of computational thinking; introduce learning repositories including preparing, uploading and sharing learning resources; present popular social tools and inquiry- based learning scenarios for use in the science classroom; and explore inquiry-based strategies for and best practices of using digital teaching & learning resources in the classroom.
