Craft the Inquiry Questions
Use SimpleMind+ for brainstorming, idea collection and thought structuring and organising images. Students can create a mindmap and develop their big questions for the investigation.
Zydeco Inquiry comes will all the tools to help students engage in planning investigations.
Zydeco enables teachers and students to create investigations by defining goals, questions, and “labels� to annotate, organize, and reflect on multimodal data (e.g., photos, videos, audio, text) that they collect in museums, parks, home, etc. As students collect this information, it is stored in the cloud so that students and teachers can access that annotated information later and use it with Zydeco tools to develop an explanation addressing the question they are investigating.
