What is SHARING?
_The next stage of inquiry learning is what we call "Sharing."
Students begin to discuss what they have gathered and formed. This is where the synthesis of information begins. Students need a good grasp of their main "audience." They will begin to publish projects and peers will start to give constructive criticism and make a case for their findings using social media.
It is MOST IMPORTANT to remember that during the "climb" students should feel the freedom to move back and forth to any stage for re-direction from the teacher and peers. It would be during this "Sharing" stage that the items in Dropbox would be closely monitored by the teacher and a mini lesson on file-management would be appropriate.
