What a journey it has been.  You may think I have not been cruising amongst the bloggy waters since my last post.  No I have been working behind the scenes mainly treading water but I have learnt a lot.

Now onwards..... this is an Instagrok mindmap of Inquiry Learning and below I have a link to the interactive model of it.

Mind Map of Inquiry Learning  (interactive model)

It may appear I am going backwards as I have decided to do a further search in Google.  The reason for this is the brick wall I hit whilst searching in Google Scholar.  I believe the content rich Australian Curriculum has a large impact on classroom time management and flexibility, or lack of it. This has led to the term the ‘overcrowded curriculum’.  For this reason I decided to pursue searching for Australian Curriculum in terms of its heavy content and links to inquiry learning based models.
