Phase 2: Introduction

Week 1: 20th - 26th February 2012

Dear Friends,

Here we go! Now that you are all set to start we can announce the formal beginning of the Learning Circle. To make things easier, through-out the newsletters, we will use the abbreviation LC for the 'Learning Circle".

We welcome teachers (new comers as well as those with previous LC experience) and students. We start with the "Introduction" phase in which teachers, students and the LC facilitators introduce themselves in the wiki.

Update of the Learning Circle

During the past week most of you posted the test messages on the Test Messages page. Hope to see tests from mdg2, mdg9 as soon as possible.

Agenda for the week

The agenda for the week is to get to know each other. Both, teachers and students are requested to introduce themselves in the wiki. You will find a dedicated page for your intros on the Introduction page.

The more creative your intros are, the more engaging it is for everyone in the wiki. Remember that the main purpose of these intros is to get to know each other. As a teacher you can speak about your profession, background and experience; remember to tell us what is unique and special about your country, community, school, yourself and your class. Of course you can add photos as well. Your students intros may include their names, hobbies, their preferences (music, food etc) and of course what is special about them as well!

You probably want to know more about us as well, we have just posted our intros in the wiki.
