Intentional Practices to Foster Personal Digital Inquiry
Intentional Practices to Foster Personal Digital Inquiry
In this chapter you will learn:
- strategies for weaving intentional teaching practices into your implementation of PDI while aiming toward flexible teaching and authentic learning
- how to enrich each set of PDI opportunities with experiences designed to model aspects of inquiry, scaffold knowledge building, and enhance students’ ability to monitor and reflect on their learning throughout the inquiry process

Key Ideas
In this chapter, we focus on intentional teaching practices (e.g., engaging activities, thoughtful questioning, and meaningful feedback) connected to the core elements of PDI:
• wonder & discover
• collaborate & discuss
• create & take action
• analyze & reflect
For each element, we identify specific instructional activities from our own teaching or ones we have gleaned from our colleagues in various settings. These teaching friends have helped us to recognize four common overarching types of instructional activities that cut across grade levels: modeling, building knowledge and deepening learning, scaffolding, and monitoring and giving feedback. We hope these examples offer a glimpse of inquiry in action and inspire you to possibly try out or adapt these activities to make them your own.
