(Wolk 119)
“Guided Inquiry requires careful supervision, ongoing assessment and targeted intervention by an instructional team of school librarians and teachers through the inquiry process that gradually leads students toward independent learning” --Kuhlthau 3
“Teaching through inquiry cannot be taken lightly or planned quickly.... Inquiry -based teaching is collaborative, investigative and deeply intellectual” --Wolk
“The big ideas are the critical knowledge about the topic- that the teacher believes must be understood for the students to have a truly educational experience” --Wolk 118
Inquiry Commonalities
• Authenticity,
• Agency • Asking Questions • Investigations
• Real World Resources • Collaborative • Relevant • Deep Thoughtful Learning • Multiple Perspectives

Slow Reading
“People appear to perceive the printed-paper medium as best suited for effortful learning, whereas the electronic medium is better suited for fast and shallow reading of short texts such as news, e-mails, and forum notes.”
“Many features of hypertext resulted in increased cognitive load and thus may have required working memory capacity that exceeded readers’ Capabilities” --Mangen
