EducatorsAs you know as an educator asking great questions are a key part to the process, students should be encouraged to ask lots and lots of questions even though they may not be able to answer them all. Here you can encourage the student to ask questions using the simple 5 W model (who, what, where, when and why) or the more complex question matrix that considers questions from the past and look towards the future. Questions that students ask need to be answerable either through exploring the data available on-line or data that they can collect for themselves.
