View this resource from the Thinking Museum, which presents six inquiry-based routines that educators can use to deepen students' thinking and engagement, particularly around art, objects, or complex ideas. The routines, such as See, Think, Wonder, Looking Ten Times Two, Step Inside, Headlines, Creative Questions, and ESP+I (Experience / Struggles / Puzzles / Insights), offer structured ways to move learners from observation to interpretation, perspective taking, summarizing, curiosity, and reflection. Each routine is explained with its purpose, suggested questions, and tips for adaptation. The activities emphasize flexibility and encourage teachers to build these routines into their "thinking toolkit" for richer classroom discussions.

In the Classroom
Display several images, artifacts, or short text excerpts around the room. Students can rotate in groups, using the See, Think, Wonder routine at each station to record their observations, interpretations, and questions on sticky notes or a shared Padlet, reviewed here. After reading a story or historical event, have students "step inside" the mind of a character or figure. Next, they can write or record brief reflections from that person's perspective, describing their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Using Creative Questions, students can brainstorm inquiry-based questions related to a class topic (e.g., "What would happen if...?" or "Why does this matter today?"). Post them on a question wall to inspire deeper research or writing projects.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Meshy AI offers a free, easy-to-use platform that empowers educators and students to create 3D models swiftly and efficiently. Members can generate detailed 3D models in less than three minutes by simply inputting text descriptions or uploading images. The free plan provides 200 credits monthly, allowing for the creation of models without needing a credit card. These models can be exported in various formats, including Wavefront Object (OBJ), Filmbox (FBX), and Stereolithography (STL), making them suitable for integration into educational projects, 3D printing, or virtual reality applications. Meshy AI's intuitive interface and rapid processing make it an excellent tool for enhancing creativity and learning in the classroom.

In the Classroom
Have students choose a vocabulary word and use Meshy to create a 3D model that represents it. For example, for the word "volcano," they can generate a 3D model of a volcano from a text prompt. Then, they can present their model and explain how it connects to the word's meaning. After reading a story, have students describe a character in detail and use Meshy to turn that description into a 3D model. In social studies or ELA, students can research an artifact from a historical period (ex., a medieval crown or ancient vase) and then generate a 3D model from a text or image prompt. Students can brainstorm and design an invention, describing it in detail via text. They then can use Meshy to model their invention and present it in a "Shark Tank"-style pitch, explaining how it works and its usefulness.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Webkinz is a colorful and engaging virtual world designed for children, where they can adopt, care for, and customize their own pets and homes. The platform encourages creativity, responsibility, and social interaction, allowing students to express themselves while learning through play. Webkinz places a strong emphasis on online safety, with heavily moderated chat areas and parental controls to ensure a secure experience. Additionally, Webkinz is known as the original toy-to-life game, meaning many of the digital pets also exist as real-world plush toys, further encouraging imaginative and hands-on play. Teachers can use Webkinz to reinforce lessons on digital citizenship, budgeting, storytelling, and creative design in an engaging, interactive way.

In the Classroom
Students can track their in-game KinzCash earnings and spending as they buy food, furniture, and accessories for their pets. This can lead to discussions on budgeting, saving, and financial decision-making. Use Webkinz's moderated chat features and parental controls as a discussion starter about safe online interactions, respectful communication, and protecting personal information. Assign students a design challenge where they create and decorate a virtual home for their Webkinz pet. They can creatively present their designs and explain their choices by making a 3D model of their character in Tinkercad, reviewed here or make a comic strip with their character using ToonyTool, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
