This morning marked the “end” of a unit development project in our SIPS class. For several weeks now, we have all been working on building unit plans for our various subject specializations, and today was a chance to peer-review them. Now before I get into the actual meat of the projects and the one I built with my partner (which I will share with you all in the next post), I’d like to introduce you to the website which made all of this possible.
Intelligence Online (IO) is, as the name suggests, an online workspace that you can use to build and organize your teaching. With a focus on inquiry, it guides its users through a step-by-step process through which they can structure inquiry-based learning. IO has a foundation in the work provided by the Galileo Educational Network Association, and has been streamlined by Dr. Pat Clifford and Dr. Sharon Friesen. Both networks share a common trait in that they support communities where educators can share their work with others in a collaborative environment.
