Inquiry Usually done after students have completed Keyboarding and Digital Literacy

Inquiry by Learning.com is a project-based approach to integrating core subject area instruction with digital literacy skills. A technology skills pre-test is completed by the student before each project to help ensure their success. Students then complete the project by conducting research, creating digital media, and presenting their work to their peers. Students then reflect upon their learning in a final self-reflection assignment. Inquiry includes supporting interactive technology skill lessons including Keyboarding and Online Safety curriculum.
