Inquiry based learning and cybersafety

Inquiry base learning is defined as seeking information by questioning. The process of inquiring begins with asking the students a question from real life problems then continue that process with gathering information and data by the students through applying different type of approaches such as critical thinking ,searching,  reflecting and integrating the collected information to be refined by the students. Activities in Inquiry approach are more student centered and that is essential for professional's achievements because it requires reflection and knowing " How" things can be solved , which is the backbone of professional growth and that is one of the new roles for schools in  21st century learning. All these issues require a cyber safety role on what students searched for and that role comes from the teacher as a facilitator of the learning process.
Our students have a quite potential abilities of using technology for doing researches and in some schools as I observed the teachers trying to shift from the traditional learning style to the student centred style with applying some cyber safety roles on the content and communication but we still far of that due to the acceleration of the technological development comparing with what we own.
