Well let's wonder how different educators in this group might use this tool in their practice.
It is that time of year that people tend to not want to go outside and fair enough some days are just too cold. But those days are a lot fewer than need be.
So I would use the wonder window to start instigating going out to pursue wonders that arose which first off means getting ourselves ready to go or maybe even before that discussing if we should/could go. Lots of learning here. Think of this as baby steps in expeditionary learning. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeditionary_learning_schools
I think that a window is the pre-outside or the post-outside reflection spot. Add some bird seed (outside window ledge) and coloured plastic (overhead projector transparent shape tiles) and templates of the window so kids can draw alternative views (what they imagine / remember it looking like out there) - have the window and fence in the background but nothing else?).
