The Five Minds for the Future

There is a discussion strand in the Muscle Shoals group that gives the
details for each week on Classroom 2.0 Live. The directions to join their Ellumiante session are in your binder and you have
access to all of the documents in your binder on The Networked Learner (
http://www.thenetworkedlearner.com) under Tutorials. Hope this helps.

In APES we have been studying the effects of cities on the environment. We have a great biology teacher at Walker; her name is Emily Adams. If you would like an introduction, maybe your classes could collaborate on a project. Her web page is at: http://www.adamsexperience.org/
