Inquiry based learning and project based learning are tools for students to increase their knowledge and social skills. Inquiry based learning is design for a student to "seek the truth, information, knowledge , or information by questioning" (Concept to Classroom 2004). This learning process begins with a birth of a child observes actions of others, and tries to imitate the same actions. Individuals will mirror the actions that they see, although they are not always correct the knowledge is stored. Inquiry learning begins as a framework in the classroom develops into a "stresses skill development and nurtures the development of good habits in mind" (Concept to Classroom 2004). An activitythat introduces Inquiry based learning would be a how-to project. In the students' science class they would demonstrate and build a garden for their classroom. This activity allows them to explore and it their is no exact way it can be done. Fusion Inquiry based learning is a website i found pertaining to components and activities an inquiry based learning. Project based learning is a small collaborative groups that teaches students real world problems and challenges (edutopia 2008). As students begin their assessments they gain a deeper knowledge on their subject they are studying. The components that are used are more updated approach to research, for instance using the Internet and other various sources. The teacher illustrates more technology usage in the curriculum and activities. An activity that would encourage knowledge of technology could be a year book project. This project would introduce several aspects of technology.
