After reading Topics C and D and viewing the websites, I feel I am starting to get a small grasp on IBL. Inquiry based learning starts with a question and a desire to learn more about a topic. For example, a question of what happened to Amelia Earhart leads to discovery of primary sources and opinions of what really happened to her and her navigator. A spark of interest and intrigue can catch students attention and reel them in. A question becomes an investigation which leads to discovery and a creation. I've also learned that a key part of IBL is reflection. Reflecting on what worked and what didn't is important in making the next IBL lesson a success.
One thing I'm still not understanding is how is IBL different from PBL. Inquiry based learning and problem based learning seem very similar to me, but I have a feeling they are very different. Can anyone give me some insight on the difference between the two?
