Briefing Sheet 38: ICT Mentors In Community And Voluntary Organisations Such volunteers are known by different organisations as ICT Mentors, ICT volunteers, bullet, telementoring, ie offering mentoring services via e-mail. http://www.niace.org.uk/information/Briefing_sheets/38_ICT_Mentors.htm
Extractions: Coaching, mentoring and assessing. E Parsloe. Kogan Page, 1992 The ICT team at NIACE was asked in 1999 by the Department for Education and Employment, now the Department for Education and Skills, to administer the Adult and Community Learning Laptop Initiative. Under this initiative, 1,500 laptop computers, scanners and printers were distributed to voluntary and community organisations and to local adult education services for use in widening participation. Over 600 organisations across England received equipment as a result of the initiative. During the course of monitoring visits to these organisations, it became apparent that many were using, or thinking of using, the services of volunteer helpers in their ICT programmes. Such volunteers are known by different organisations as ICT Mentors, ICT Volunteers, ICT Supporters, Computer Buddies, Internet Angels, etc. Whatever title they are known by, such volunteers fulfil a vital role in IT classes everywhere. Without them, many voluntary and community organisations would not be able to offer the range of IT training courses which they do, or might not even be able to offer IT training at all. Indeed, a recent survey E-Learning in Leicestershire shows that some adult education providers were experiencing difficulties in recruiting and retaining competent and qualified ICT tutors. The main reason suggested for this was that people with ICT skills could obtain better paid jobs outside of education. Using the services of volunteers/mentors in the IT classroom does help to ease this problem somewhat.
CUUC Arborwood Report This year 8 CUUC volunteers, most of whom are grandparents, enjoyed weekly grantwriting, tele-mentoring, Holiday School Supplies gift-procuring, etc. http://www.tcfn.org/arborwood/cuucrpt.html
Extractions: CUUC Arborwood Report When re-forming our Community Unitarian Universalist Church Community Service Committee in the fall of 1997 we asked ourselves the UUSC question, "What About The Children?" Almost immediately the needs of the Amistad (Spanish for "friendship") School were brought to our attention. Amistad School, a few blocks from our church in the Heart (or Inner City) of Kennewick, serves families half of whom speak English as a Second Language and three/quarters of whom qualify for free or reduced lunches. School volunteers were practically non-existent when we arrived at Amistad two years ago. This year 8 CUUC volunteers, most of whom are grandparents, enjoyed weekly reading friendships with about 20 kids, (collectively volunteering over 200 hours and for these efforts were honored by JC Penney and the Volunteer Center with a Golden Rule Certificate of Appreciation). Our church funds not only paid for essential equipment and supplies, including the florescent light fixtures, but also kept the heat, lights and other utilities on during the first critical year of the Arborwood Learning Center operation. UUFP funds provided incentive in the form of Waremart Grocery Gift Certificates to low-income volunteers who staffed the after school Homework Center 4 afternoons a week, helping kids do homework, (sometimes introducing kids to the very concept of homework), tutoring and providing a safe, comfortable and warm place to be together. The real drawing card to the Homework Center is daily access to state-of-the-art computerscomplete with software designed to meet their particular learning needs. With UUFP funds we were able to provide the Arborwood Learning Center with Enchanted Learning, Rosetta Stone in Spanish, GED and Citizenship software to supplement their other learning materials.
TOPLINE Tele-mentoring The TOPLINE telementoring scheme has added an electronic dimension to our practicing teachers energetic volunteers - to achieve their own goals, http://www.pu-kumamoto.ac.jp/~pab/topline_poster.html
Extractions: top / goals issues protocols references Goals Ten years after initiating a seminar for junior and senior high school English teachers' in Kumamoto Prefecture, the coordinators of the Recurrent Teachers Seminar at the Prefectural University of Kumamotos saw the need for an on-line seminar and have responded to the challenge by initiating Kumamotos first on-line teacher development program. Dubbed the Teachers On-line Program for Language Improvement through Networking in English (TOPLINE) by its creators, this program's general mission is to create teacher development opportunities for English teachers who find it difficult to take advantage of other programs because of location or time restrictions. For some teachers who participate in TOPLINE, unfamiliarity with electronic communication will compound the challenges of self-directed teacher development. Thus part of the coordinators' efforts to facilitate participation must be dedicated to helping technologically challenged teachers get connected to the Internet, in order for on-line language development and professional networking to begin.
Selected Online Mentoring Resources A very successful and welldocumented national telementoring program, Virtual Volunteering Resources How to find and involve volunteers working from http://www.serviceleader.org/old/vv/direct/telem.html
Extractions: selected online mentoring resources Online mentoring takes MANY forms, everything from one youth matched with one mentor, to a group of students in one classroom matched with a group of mentors from one company for a specific curriculum-based activity. It can be a program of just a few weeks or one that lasts an entire school year. It may mean an online volunteer sending one or two e-mails a week, or spending several hours a week reviewing a student's project for class. It can be school-based and curriculum-focused, or conducted through a nonprofit organization that serves young people. Below is an index of SELECTED organizations and online mentoring/teletutoring projects and materials, as well as selected general mentoring resources, that we feel could be most helpful to any organization exploring the online mentoring. However, please be aware, as you read through these materials, that not all resources will be applicable to every online mentoring program. The Virtual Volunteering Project also has a comprehensive list of all online mentoring/teletutoring programs and resources We also offer initial first steps for those considering setting up a direct contact service component involving online volunteers, including

An electronic mail system that connects young people with disabilities or chronic illness to disabled and non-disabled peers and mentors. This network gives "wings" to thousands of children and adolescents by removing the social barriers that can come with having a disability and illness, and by providing opportunities to form friendships, build self-confidence, exchange information, and share hope and encouragement through e-mail messages.

Assessing The Potential Of Ementoring His classroombased research on academic telementoring began at carrying out work on community-based telementoring, working with teachers and volunteers http://www.nwrel.org/mentoring/panel14.html
Extractions: Kevin O'Neill http://www.sfu.ca/~koneill/ Kevin O'Neill is an Assistant Professor of Education and Technology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. His classroom-based research on academic telementoring began at Northwestern University in 1995, and has involved hundreds of adult volunteers and children from grades 7 to 12, in settings from inner city Chicago to the Toronto suburbs. In his new position he is carrying out work on community-based telementoring, working with teachers and volunteers to strengthen the study of History at the high school level. He is also developing software tools to make organizing small telementoring initiatives easier. NMC: Let's start off with the easy one.
