Exploratree
This free tool from FutureLab allows you to choose from the library of ready-made thinking guides, or to make your own. You can change and customise them; using text, shapes, and images, then send, print or work collaboratively with others. It pays to register so that you have the saving option and can build your own set of templates or plans. Thanks Judi Buckley for tracking this resource down.

EDtalks
A top resource for professional learning compiled by CORE Education NZ Ltd .
EDTalks is a growing collection of videos featuring New Zealand and International educators talking about learning.
I got a lot out of this 5 min clip ‘Inquiry as a disposition' from Sharon Freisen. Sharon talks about inquiry being a disposition, rather than a process that “gets done” by students.
