 “Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand” describes the core of inquiry-based learning.  Inquiry-based learning is a complex process where students formulate questions, investigate to find answers, build new understandings, meanings and knowledge, and then communicate their learning to others.When a teacher implements inquiry learning in the classroom the, students are actively involved in solving authentic (real-life) problems within the context of the curriculum and/or community.  These powerful learning experiences engage students deeply. 

Way #3 DESIGN ARCHITECTURE FOR PARTICIPATION. “There are so many ways that kids can be active in their learning, beyond the standard call-and-respond business,”this emphasizes that teachers need to find innovative ways to get their students to want to participate. Teaches must teach digital literacy but it does not stop there because the student must be moved to digital fluency. When students are engaged in inquiry learning they are able to make more authentic connections between their schoolwork and the value of what it is they're learning.
