Inquiry is a buzzword in education circles right now. What is it? How do I teach with it in mind in my classroom or out of school program? GIS is a great tool for inquiry-focused activities. This session will introduce the inquiry model, provide examples and tools for your youth program AND an introduction for you to feel confident getting started. Inquiry-based GIS can be applied to online, desktop and server platforms.
