Phase 3: Questions

Week 2: 27 February - 4 March 2012
 
Dear friends,
We are now in the second week of the Learning Circle We hope that you have enjoyed reading / viewing the intros of one another as much as we have, and that you are ready for the question phase! 
Update of the Learning Circle
It is very interesting to read most of your teacher and class messages and photos. We hope to read the missing introductions as soon as possible. We kindly ask wl2, wl8  to post their intros this week.
 
Agenda for the week
The question phase lasts 2 weeks (week 2 & 3) and is a critical step in the LC process. We ask you to work with your students to formulate a research question for your partners in the Learning Circle around the LC theme. 
Click on the Questions page and post your question in your school space 
Remember that asking for "facts and figures" stimulates students just Google the answer. Values, opinions, interviews, ranking their findings will stimulate students to think 
 
Important Information
 Criteria for quality sponsored question:
  • the question is posted in the wiki in time
  • is related to the theme of the LC
  • has clear definition without possible misinterpretation
    • taking into consideration cultural differences
  • has one main question;   
    • clarification could be added in the form of max 3 sub-questions to guide the research   
  • the question should be 'open' and initiate research
    • avoid a 'closed question' that can be answered with Yes/No or very simple answer
  • the answer need research and critical thinking
  • the question reflects international and global learning
    • avoid focusing on one country or region
  • if your question doesn't match these criteria the facilitator will ask you to reformulate the question
Please remember the steps of posting information in the Wiki
  • Step 1: compose your question in your word processor E.g MS Word.
  • Step 2: copy the question to notepad
  • Step 3: click on the "Edit" button above and paste your question in your class space
  • Step 4: click on the "Save" button to save your work

Remember that those classes that fail to post any information by the end of the 3rd week being teacher, class letters or sponsored questions will be removed from the Learning Circle.

We wish you lots of learning and fun during this Learning Circle,

Natasha Cherednichenko
