I had a great moment with my grade 7 class today. They were about to begin some web research and I asked the ones who had been in Class 62 last year what they needed to think about when viewing information on the internet. It took them a few seconds, but then the hands flew up:
-check who the people are who wrote the information
-check different sites.
-validity
They remembered! Inquiry based learning works!
