Burning Question: What can we do to incorporate a better collaborative learning environment in our classrooms?

Collaboration, inquiry, problem solving and design all connect and work together systematically: we work together as a team to inquire about a specific problem, ask questions, come up with a realistic design to solve the problem, and figure out a solution together. The team will then collaborate again and reflect on the results, and if needed, start the process again if the desired solution is still not attained. These core concepts work as a cycle of collaborative inquiry.
