Update of the Learning Circle

We have posted the Learning Circle update. From the update, we learn that "het Nieuwe Eemland" still needs to post their question, the promissed to do so quickly now.

Added text on 28/03/2011 > just a few minutes after sending this news letter we received a message that "Het Nieuwe Eemland will withdraw from EFS.
Ddue family circumstances of the teacher and illness of the replacement teacher, the school decided to withdraw from the Eco Friendly Schools Project.
For which we are very sorry; we thank het Nieuwe Eemland for their efforts so far.

Agenda for the week

As it was announced before, this is the third week of responding to the sponsored questions. Your classes are now making a  research and respond to the sponsored questions received from your Learning Circle partners. Please include photos, diagrams, movies, or other materials illustrating your research.
Even if you have not contructed the final answer; it's interesting to know who your class is doing so far. So keep us updated on progress on the answer pages OR tweet us @GlobalTeenager or #learningcircles. A tweet fountain will be inserted in the wiki this week....
