In the past, student research focused on print materials including books, paper journals, notebooks, folders, and term papers. Over the years, there's been a shift toward inquiry-based projects that focus on both the process and product of investigations. However even with the integration of technology, there's still an emphasis on reading and writing text. During the past decade, this has changed. Rather than using text-based journal, students are writing about their projects on inquiry blogs. Term papers are done with a word processor and include charts, graphics, and photographs.
Graphic inquiry involves weaving visual representations throughout the inquiry process. Rather than keeping track of a research project in a print journal or blog, consider a quick and easy timeline tool. Activity: Use a timeline tool to record your thoughts as you work your way through this workshop. Looking for good images?
