The Education Research Leadership Chair, Dragana Martinovic, at the University of Windsor invited me to lead a Faculty of Education Research Event on April 16, 2013.
In my talk, Designing a tool to support the collaborative exchange of ideas during science inquiry, I described the design of the Collaborative Idea Manager and showed findings from its first classroom trials. Here's a snapshot of one of my slides, which shows the range of public ideas available in the classroom, and the frequencies at which they were being exchanged.
Throughout the talk, I enjoyed a lively discussion with the members of the audience about designing technologies that are both learning and research tools, about the implications for inquiry learning, and about the important role of the teacher in moderating students' collaboration in open-ended projects.
