"Ideas in my brain are like shy animals in the forest""Can I be excused sir? I cannot think anymore, my brain is full""My brain is like a naughty puppy. I know I should do my homework but it is telling me to watch tv."
"Questions allow us to make sense of a confusing world""Kermit the frog says that asking questions is a very good way to find out about something"

Robert Fisher. New Learning Frontiers, October 1999

Welcome to this module on thinking and questioning skills.  In this module, we will encourage you to think about ways in which you can help your learners to think and to develop a spirit of inquiry which will equip them for the real world. We have designed the module to encourage you and your learners to use computers and the Internet effectively in your classroom. As in all learning, it is important to try to make the situations real and relevant for our learners. If we choose things to learn about that are relevant and real, it will make the classroom come alive and greatly improve their chances of learning.

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach a student to learn by creating curiosity about life, that learner will continue the learning process as long as he/she lives"

adapted from CP Bedford
