Abstract: Technology integration and inquiry-based learning are not novel concepts. Nevertheless, the possibilities with integrating Pivothead Wearable Imaging technology lends a unique opportunity for impacting inquiry-based learning. In consideration of the first-person perspective video recording capabilities, we examine this technology as a possible avenue of perspective taking and inquiry. As such, we first explore the affordances as well as limitations of this technology in relation to its use in this context. Next, we consider pedagogical implications and challenges of applying the technology to inquiry-based learning and offer examples of how to make the pedagogical leap of using this technology in a ...
