Please note:

Dear Learning Circle participants,

It is with great pleasure that, even though the time line indicates that the Learning Circle has ended, we see new poems arriving in the wiki almost every day.

In the past week we were in contact with the ACSN (Association for Canadian Studies in The Netherlands) to discuss what would be the best way to publish the poems created by the students and offer thepublication as gift to the Dutch and Canadian blue helmets in Afghanistan. And teacher Maurits Kamman from Canisius School in Almelo, will join with 2 students on the iEARN World Conference in Barrie, Canada from July 11^th -17^th to present an Echoes workshop. We will do our utmost best to hand a copy of the printed poems publication to veteran Danny McLeod, who's interviews by video conference are in this wiki.

Please be aware of the following:

-       If your students still have poems that are not posted in the wiki, please do so before June 25^th so they can be included in the Echoes Publication

-       Unless you clearly express to us by email that your students works cannot be included, we will add all poems in the wiki in the publication

-       We will mention the names of the schools and (if indicated on the poems pages) the names of the students.

We’re open for any suggestions that can help us to present your students work in  the best way possible.

With regards, Bob and Ria.
