Learning Circle
M_K_I and Learning Circle
All projects within iEARN are designed and facilitated by participants to fit their particular curriculum and classroom needs and schedules.
When schools join iEARN, the network is open to all teachers and students at a school, with resources available for finding iEARN projects across age levels and disciplines.
Participants may join existing structured on-line projects, or work with others internationally to create and facilitate their own projects to fit their own particular classroom and curriculum needs. Classrooms also have the option of joining a Learning Circle, which are highly interactive, project-based partnerships among a small number of schools located throughout the world.
Learning Circles are highly interactive, project-based partnerships among a small number of schools located throughout the world. Each session is 14 weeks
