“Guided Inquiry requires careful supervision, ongoing assessment and targeted intervention by an instructional team of school librarians and teachers through the inquiry process that gradually leads students toward independent learning” --Kuhlthau 3

“Teaching through inquiry cannot be taken lightly or planned quickly.... Inquiry -based teaching is collaborative, investigative and deeply intellectual” --Wolk

“The big ideas are the critical knowledge about the topic- that the teacher believes must be understood for the students to have a truly educational experience” --Wolk 118

Slow Reading

“People appear to perceive the printed-paper medium as best suited for effortful learning, whereas the electronic medium is better suited for fast and shallow reading of short texts such as news, e-mails, and forum notes.”

“Many features of hypertext resulted in increased cognitive load and thus may have required working memory capacity that exceeded readers’ Capabilities” --Mangen
