Welcome

Dear all, 

Welcome to the inquiry in the PYP workshop. This is our blog and we will use it for many purposes:

  • to share links and resources
  • to collaborate
  • to record reflections
  • to ask questions
You can post a comment at any time and we will try and respond when appropriate. 

Technology is a great way to engage our students in inquiry! We hope we can make good use of it in our workshop.
