This week, I started looking deeper into the stages of questioning. I decided to check back at my Question Quickfire and look at how these questions revolve around my role as a teacher, my educational practices, and issues surrounding technology. After reviewing these questions, I decided to sort them based on their characteristics and general idea. This helped me decide on how these questions differ from each other. I categorized my questions into three different groupings and finally was able to understand how to prioritize and understand each question. Some of these questions were based more on "me" as a teacher and my personal goals. The questions under the "we" problem were directed towards teachers and educators as a population. The "techy" questions all revolved around technology. Below I have included an image of my categorization process. Image taken by author. I wanted to share my thought process through a visual thinking tool called VideoScribe. It was my first time using anything like this and I really enjoyed it. While using this, I explained the benefits and power behind inquiry, questions, and how I plan to use these questions to guide my practice as an educator. After reading Warren Berger’s (2014) A More Beautiful Question, I discovered that asking why has to do with seeing and understanding. Asking the "why" questions helps discover what it is that we want to accomplish out of the question. I explored questioning in a few different ways this week: 1. Creating categories to place questions within 2. Understanding how questions are different from one another 3. Deciding how questions are similar 4. Prioritizing questions It was challenging to find the underlying topic of each question and deciding on how to group each question. As the process progressed, it became easier and clicked! References
