Clarification Please!

This week we did a lot of work with inquiry based activities. These activities promote research and navigation through the internet. Once again, it is important to make sure that all links you require the students to learn are active links. This activity seems a great way to introduce topics. For instance, I asked my students to answer certain questions about the number Pi. This will help students become more familiar with Pi so that they gain a deeper understanding of area and circumference of circles. This lesson also opened my eyes to clarification. It is important that directions and websites are very clear to students. No teacher wants their students to be confused. So in order to avoid this, it is important to provide clear directions and easily navigated sites. Especially for younger or lower performing students.
