Update of the Learning Circle

We have posted to you the Learning Circle update. From the update, we realized that most of you sent good questions on time. Well done!

Please be aware that some of the questions might still be reviewed and fine tuned over the next 2-3 days, as we really need questions that link to -think-act-do. The stdudents from Elde College will be back from their break week tomorrow and a colleague tecaher from "het Nieuwe Eemland" is about to post the introductions. On Wednesday 16th we will transfer the questions to the related answer pages. 

Agenda for the week

This week marks the beginning of responding to sponsored questions. Your classes are now going to research and respond to the sponsored questions received from your Learning Circle partners. Please include photos, diagrams, movies, or other materials illustrating your research.
This process will take 4 weeks to complete. Remember your Learning Circle partners are expecting to find responses to their questions in the Wiki pages to enable them to prepare their summaries on time.
To make the Learning Circle process interesting, it will be ideal to share responsibilities in your class. We advise you to divide your work in a way to answer some questions on a weekly basis.
As the answers will help your fellow students to come up with an concrete activity to make their school more Eco Friendly, your creative ideas are really welcome!
