    How can we take the Question Formulation Technique online for powerful, accessible inquiry learning from afar? Join us for an open conversation with ed tech experts: Jay Sorensen, Michelle Pearson, and Laura Israelsen, and RQI’s Sarah Westbrook for some seasoned advice on the tools that can make this work in any setting. 

    Wed, May 6 @ 2p ET: Introduction to the Question Formulation Technique for Primary Source Learning

    This free, one-hour interactive webinar introduces educators to the Question Formulation Technique (QFT), a strategy through which individuals develop their ability to ask, work with, and use their own questions. Participants will learn through doing. This is an introductory session, primarily designed for educators and learners who are new to the QFT.

    Create your own virtual QFT using our new Google Forms template, which guides students individually through asking and working with their own questions. Join us to experience how this activity works with students, test out how you can make the template your own, and explore the other new and free resources the Right Question Institute has available for conducting a remote QFT in a variety of settings.
