Essential Questions, when designed and used effectively, can facilitate opportunities for students to engage in the process of inquiry. This edWebinar clarifies what Essential Questions are, how best to create them, and how they can be integrated into lesson design to engage students in discourse around important concepts.

We use specific examples from The Achievery, a FREE digital learning platform created by AT&T designed to help connect students to a new world of digital learning through stories that spark curiosity and content that entertains and teaches. The platform features clips from some of the most popular, well-loved movies, TV shows, and cartoons from Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network, paired with lessons and learning activities that students can engage with wherever they are—at home, in the community, and in the classroom.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers, school leaders, and education technology leaders.
