 * whatedsaid || 8:11 PM || @tgaletti Indeed. And this is a good way to start. Have you seen how @sherrattsam uses it to drive the learning? #pypchat ||
 * PanaAsavavatana || 8:11 PM || #pypchat A1 allows students to apply the inquiry skills that we are all trying to teach them independently and in a meaningful way ||

 * hktans || 8:15 PM || @hktans #pypchat Tania pypc in shanghai but holiday in hk - I can actually access twitter! Yay! ||

 * lsacker || 8:15 PM || #pypchat anyone done this with early years? ||
 * arroyo24 || 8:16 PM || @PanaAsavavatana Nice to have you joining #pypchat today ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:16 PM || @hktans You are right about the need to manage these projects within the broader T&amp;L program. Think Qs to come might help #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:16 PM || #pypchat I know it's easy for our kinder but really seems hard for junior grades ||
 * gabesmom1997 || 8:16 PM || A1: Allows for ownership of accessing resources, experts, mentors, and navigating the process of learning through inquiry. #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:16 PM || @mrchanteacher we can provide a structure through guiding questions for example and/or providing the inquiry framework #pypchat ||

 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:17 PM || @thammerlund @lsacker I'm guessing its ore guided in early years - Tch provides a range of activities for inquiry #pypchat ||
 * PogonophileMelb || 8:18 PM || A1 Gives support and direction for *how* to ask questions. Even by grade 5/6 students struggle. Gets worse as we age. #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 8:19 PM || A2: this is tough for some kids. You can see the diff between a passion and something to inquire into. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:19 PM || A2 By providing a constant range of stimuli to provoke curiosity and interest.. maybe? #pypchat ||
 * PogonophileMelb || 8:19 PM || A2 Questions, questions, questions. Think aloud with students, let them experience your curiosity. #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:19 PM || A2. Model our own passions; encouraging them to keep a wonder/inquiry journal to jot down ideas/questions; #pypchat ||
 * arroyo24 || 8:19 PM || @Saigon_Eldred @thammerlund @lsacker Absolutely, teachers provide more invitations #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:19 PM || #pypchat I think we need to keep all the BIG ideas in mind and connect child's passion to that. Love Sam's model ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:20 PM || Sorry all, off out to dinner to Knutsford Terrace Enjoy the rest of #pypchat and I look forward 2 reading the archives ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:20 PM || @tgaletti Agree, share your own passions and create environ. where children feel comfortable to share their own. #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:20 PM || A2 I like to think of my classroom as a laboratory and give my students opportunities to do things they wouldn't do otherwise. #pypchat ||

 * PogonophileMelb || 8:20 PM || @arroyo24 Thanks! I pop in from time to time. #pypchat ||
 * hktans || 8:20 PM || @arroyo24 #pypchat I worry this can lead to discovery teaching - student interest with grey boundaries - or misinterpreted &amp; lead to theme ||
 * tgaletti || 8:20 PM || A2. Provide experiences that spark curiosity, e.g. through access to visual encyclopedias, artifacts, field trips, experts etc. #pypchat ||

 * lsacker || 8:21 PM || #pypchat just starting a new unit with year three where the big idea is curiosity. Lots of provocative stations# anyone got a whale bone ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:21 PM || @arroyo24 A2 listen to them #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:21 PM || @wholeboxndice maybe passion only develops over time. First there is just something of interest or inquire into #pypchat ||
 * gabesmom1997 || 8:21 PM || FYI: I'm not part of PYP, but am passionate about topic. Hope that's ok, even though some of the chat specifics r unfamiliar to me. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:21 PM || @wholeboxndice I think encouring kids to think and talk about what interests them, why it does, how it connects to themâ€¦ all help #pypchat ||
 * arroyo24 || 8:22 PM || @jasongraham99 Hi, great to see you in #pypchat ||
 * ShanezCabraal || 8:22 PM || A2. Sharing each others passion and knowledge on topics #pypchat ||

 * tgaletti || 8:22 PM || @Shaza33 providing a safe and comfortable environment to share their interests and passions is essential #pypchat ||
 * PogonophileMelb || 8:22 PM || @hktans @arroyo24 Bring it back to concepts your are directing the UOI through. For an incidental inquiry, choose a concept focus.#pypchat ||
 * Dannstar79 || 8:22 PM || #pypchat I asked S's if they could decide what we learnt about, what would they say. Were so excited when I said they would get the chance! ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:22 PM || RT @tgaletti: A2. Model our own passions; encouraging them to keep a wonder/inquiry journal to jot down ideas/questions; #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:23 PM || @tgaletti some kids are super passionate. Others have interests. The cultivation of these important. #pypchat ||
 * fpgrant || 8:23 PM || @arroyo24 Conversation and questioning. What are their favourite things? What makes them special or different? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:23 PM || @hktans So take a look at how @sherrattsam manages it! http://t.co/AjChB1X6Zd #pypchat ||
 * surreallyno || 8:23 PM || I will be just listening to the conversation today #pypchat I still have trouble with defining "passion" with 7-yo. I need to learn more. ||
 * PogonophileMelb || 8:23 PM || A2 continue to examples/case studies relevant to students. Share ideas/questions #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:23 PM || RT @jasongraham99: @arroyo24 A2 listen to them #pypchat - I agree! This is the most important step to begin with. ||

 * arroyo24 || 8:24 PM || Time for Q3 How do you structure this kind of inquiry? #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:25 PM || @lsacker through guiding questions. This is the challenge for the facilitator in my opinion #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:25 PM || #pypchat how do you move some kids beyond what they know deeper and richer, ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:25 PM || @surreallyno For a startâ€¦ something that really interests them, that THEY choose to learn more about. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:25 PM || RT @arroyo24: Time for Q3 How do you structure this kind of inquiry? #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 8:26 PM || @PogonophileMelb @hktans @arroyo24 yeah, we use concepts as the links. Have scope in at least one UOI per year for more extensive #pypchat ||
 * arroyo24 || 8:26 PM || @PogonophileMelb I guess it could be both #pypchat ||
 * PanaAsavavatana || 8:26 PM || A2 for the little ones, lots of examples of 'passions' sometimes I tell them "it's those things that make you go 'WOW!'"#pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:27 PM || @tgaletti #pypchat never too sure how I could develop guiding questions about things like football ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:27 PM || @lsacker You have to see Sam's video! http://t.co/AjChB1X6Zd #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:27 PM || Q3. I like providing some sort of a frame work through an inquiry model (e.g. Kath Murdoch's) and guiding questions #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:27 PM || RT @arroyo24: Time for Q3 How do you structure this kind of inquiry? #pypchat ||

 * PogonophileMelb || 8:29 PM || A3 we use a template- 4 levels of questions-ladder model (increasing in complexity) help them to answer the over-arching question . #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:29 PM || RT @whatedsaid: @hktans I think the idea in a student driven passion project is that 'we' do not need to have an end in mind :) #pypchat ||
 * hktans || 8:29 PM || @lsacker #pypchat depends what area of football the interest is in. ||
 * Dannstar79 || 8:29 PM || #pypchat Only been doing genius hour for a few weeks. We are encouraging kids to choose a concept to guide the inquiry. @kelizplace ||

 * whatedsaid || 8:31 PM || @lsacker Yetâ€¦ it happens in kinder all the time, doesn't it? #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:31 PM || #pypchat I keep thinking of younger students. Do you think this is better suited to older kids. Mulling on this ||
 * gabesmom1997 || 8:31 PM || I bring the kids in on the discussion of structure and framework for inquiry. It often changes relating to their current needs. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:31 PM || @arroyo24 Genius hour doesn't have to relate to the unit. Rather something the learner choses to devote time to inquiring into #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:31 PM || RT @whatedsaid: @hktans I think the idea in a student driven passion project is that 'we' do not need to have an end in mind :) #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:31 PM || A3: we look for regular opportunities, but have a more 'formal' passion projects during one if our UOI. #pypchat ||
 * hktans || 8:31 PM || @whatedsaid #pypchat then is this just project work?what is the purpose? What are we learning? Facts? Content? ||
