Questions As Key
Questions matter. Questions matter: "It seems far harder to ask a really good question than to supply a correct answer - yet we tend to value answer people (aka experts) way above folks that ask 'dumb' questions." [elearnspace blog]
Librarians and other educators are well aware of the importance of questions. We need to teach our students how to ask questions that will lead them to knowledge, as this article suggests, but also to understanding. I especially like the quote from Naguib Mahfouz used as the header to this article:You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.
