The Inquiry Spark

So why inquiry learning? It's such a fascinating notion. It conjures up all manner of explorations, motivated from deep within, as learners seek to build the brain they will have for their life time. ' I wonder what makes the sky blue?   Where do the stars go in the daytime? What will happen if...?'  It's what drives babies to look at those wriggly things at the end of their arms and wonder what they can do? It intriguingly invites connection between people. Where does that ant trail lead and let's find out together . Rarely does learning happen in isolation from others and when we see learning as connection, we realise the way relationships are the blanket that warms that spark, so it dances as flames across time and space. Learning is energy that finds its will to keep pursuing the quest when we often don't even know what this means at the beginning, long past the easy bits into practice and effort, inside what is imaginable and therefore possible.
