Day 28: AI For Inquiry-Based LearningCuriosity • Exploration • Discovery
Inquiry-based learning transforms classrooms into spaces of exploration and wonder. Instead of delivering answers, teachers guide students in asking meaningful questions and investigating ideas that matter to them. With AI, that process becomes even more powerful. Today’s focus invites educators to use AI as a curiosity catalyst—a partner that helps design engaging entry points for learning. Whether you’re crafting essential questions, connecting lessons to real-world issues, or differentiating materials for accessibility, AI can help turn content into discovery. When teachers use AI for inquiry, they model the very skills students need most: curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. Daily Challenge: Design with Inquiry in Mind Use AI to turn a standard topic into an inquiry-based experience. Try this prompt: “I’m teaching a unit on ecosystems. Generate five open-ended, thought-provoking questions that would inspire students to investigate, debate, or create solutions. Include one that connects to a local or real-world issue.” Then, select one question and plan how students could explore it through research, discussion, or hands-on investigation. Bonus idea: Ask AI to adapt your question for different reading levels or student interests, helping every learner engage in inquiry at their own depth. When teachers use AI to inspire inquiry, learning becomes an adventure fueled by curiosity. |
