Abstract This piece introduces a framework for how to envision Personal Digital Inquiry ( PDI ) in K‐8 classrooms. To conceptualize what teaching and learning might look like in these classrooms, important practices are situated along a two‐dimensional continuum of digital inquiry that varies in terms of levels of support and purposes of technology use. We then offer several examples of what teaching and learning within a PDI framework can look like; visions that move from teacher directed to student directed inquiry, always informed by purposeful choices about the role that technology plays along the way.
