By way of CogDog, I heard about Al Upton’s miniLegend project. He is currently asking edubloggers to be mentors for his year 3 students (8 and 9 year olds I believe). Being the geek I am I think this is the coolest thing so I went over to sign up to be a mentor.
As it currently stands I will be mentoring a girl named Emili. I’m really looking forward to commenting on her blog and just seeing what she learns over the year. Something about these connections, ya know?
When you say ‘mentor’, its more of a ‘observer and commenter’ rather than ‘guidance and assistance’, in this context, right?
Yeah, pretty much, considering that Emili lives all the way in Australia my contact with her will be through the blog.
But hopefully my comments will provide guidance and assistance over the year.
You rule, Shannon. I miss yu NJ Irish self.
