About RIBIT:
RIBIT (the Reusable Internet-Based Inquiry Template) is designed to
help teachers build in-class activities that cultivate students' ability
to experience insights. The idea is straightforward. Instead of explaining
concepts to students give them the raw materials, a guiding question
and some "play" time, and see if they can come to these
concepts, or others, on their own. Rooted in constructivist thinking,
RIBIT is a tool that enables teachers to build student inquiry activities
around resources they find on the Internet.
John Raymond,
creator of RIBIT and director of TIELab
(Technology-in-Education Laboratory) is an educational technology
developer and professional development consultant. John and TIELab
offer RIBIT to teachers as a free tool to create, store and retrieve
Internet-Based Inquiries (IBIs).
RIBIT Workshops: John offers workshops on inquiry-based models
of teaching and using RIBIT as well as on his other projects, the
History Lab and
the Local Historical
Archives Project. To contact John about scheduling a workshop
