As a result of this learning activity, you will compose a "Quick Write Answer" in the form of a one-page reflection and post it to Canvas under the assignment listing for Models of Inquiry and Technology.

In your Quick Write, answer the following four major questions that we addressed in the Workshop:

1. How does the scientific method compare to the various models of inquiry that have been developed over the years?

2. When did you encounter inquiry during K-12? Did a librarian have anything to do with this type of learning?

3. How well were you prepared to do serious inquiry by your freshman year in college?

4. Add a screen shot of your group model done in the workshop and defend it.
