Developing Inquisitive Students and Academic Writing

“My experience with Packback thus far has been really wonderful. I’m finding that I’m able to really help students become inquisitive learners, so they’re actually thinking about the things that they’re reading. They’re engaging with their classmates in genuine and authentic ways. Also, using Packback has given me an opportunity to sort of model some of the experiences in the skills I want them to have as they prepare to write their research essays. So really thinking about what kind of evidence they can use to support their ideas… I think in the end, that’s really one of the greatest things about Packback. They’re using their own curiosity, their own ideas, their own thoughts, and then thinking about how they enter into a conversation with other scholars and other students about those same topics.”
