Expert Tele-Mentoring of Students Economy Engagement The Context: Mentoring is a one-to-one educational and supportive relationship practiced for hundreds of years in almost all cultures. It is based on trust. It has proven to be effective in most educational settings and especially in at-risk situations. Today the term "expert mentor" usually means a more-experienced person who acts as a guide or model for a less-experienced person. Stanford psychologists have shown that expert mentoring is extremely effective to advance learners when adequate intervention is applied. We have learned from recent research that the presence of a caring adult in a mentor/mentee relationship has been a decisive factor in the life of many youths. Caring individuals, who provide one-to-one support, friendship, and guidance, become role models for disoriented children attending many inner-city schools.

Online mentoring, or e-mentoring, is a mentoring relationship conducted via the Internet. E-mail can be the exclusive vehicle for young people and mentors to connect or it can be an additional communication tool for those who ordinarily meet in person. Either way, e-mentoring shares the goal of face-to-face mentoring: establishing a trusting, nurturing, positive relationship between the mentor and a young person.

Assistant Professor, Education and Technology My work involves using the Internet to help K-12 students and teachers to better understand disciplinary forms of writing and thinking. For the past several years, my research has revolved around "telementoring" — a unique practice in which knowledgeable adult volunteers work with small teams of students for extended periods of time, to support their work on ambitious classroom investigations. In past work, I demonstrated how this approach could help students learn about scientific research and argumentation. One of my latest projects, funded by SSHRC, involves an on-line community of high school students and teachers called Tracking Canada's Past . In this project, participants learn about the discipline of history by researching themes surrounding the Canadian Pacific Railway, with the guidance of volunteer mentors.

RESOURCE CENTER My UNITeS FAQs ICT Success Stories ... Home "Utilizing Technology for Volunteer - Involving Organizations", paper by Mark Gannon March 2001 ICT as Accessibility Potentially the most important aspect of the new ICT is it's use in accessibility. This refers 2 separate but related aspects: volunteers finding out about an organisation and finding routes into its volunteering opportunities; and how technology can assist people to physically volunteer. Online matching is an excellent example of the first point. There are numerous sites on the Internet (see Appendix 1) that have large databases of available opportunities that will present potential volunteers with lists of volunteering opportunities based on criteria that they specify. The previous case study is a good example. There are many advantages to virtual volunteering. The main advantage is that the volunteers do not physically have to locate to where the organisation is. There are, therefore, savings in terms of workspace but also working materials and travelling expenses. It also enables organisations to search for the right person with the right skills and not be constrained by distance. The right volunteer could be within 10 metres of the office or might be 10, 000 kilometres away. With virtual volunteering the only constraint is the depth of your imagination in how to involve online volunteers. Susan J. Ellis and Jayne Cravens have written an excellent book on the subject called 'The Virtual Volunteering Guidebook' (2000) which is available to download for free (see

29. Students Who Are Involved With Telementoring In High School Are Telementoring is the cybertechnology driven version of mentoring using joined with Colin Powell in Philadelphia recently to form a corps of volunteers. http://www.tnellen.com/ted/tc/tele1.html

Students who are involved with telementoring in high school are more apt to graduate from high school than those high school students who aren't involved in telementoring. Telementoring is the cyber-technology driven version of mentoring using various methods of electronic communications. I wish to explore how telementoring may serve as a method to assist in increasing high school graduation rates. I am trying to prove that when high school students are influenced by many forces in society, (parents, business, government, and citizens) their chances for graduation from high school will be greater than those students who are not influenced by society. Society is trying to influence schools and educators are devising ways to keep society out. Telementoring may be a political way to solve this problem. Graduation rates are still a main topic in most states as witnessed by the recent rash of "standards" debates in our states. Improving the quality of and quantity of high school graduates is the main focus of telementoring. One of the reasons telementoring may be viable at this time is that society and education are talking and collaborating. Efforts to wire the schools, to provide computers, and to fund the schools, demonstrate society's desire to assist in the education of its citizens. A theory I am trying to prove is that society can help educate its population through telementoring. Providing society access to schools has always been a logistically difficult matter and politically dangerous. However, with improvements in technology, telementoring can serve as the vehicle to overcome these logistical impossibilities because telementoring can provide access to many more by many more and not just to the powerful or privileged. Communities are forming online parent's groups which are interacting with the students in the schools which are wired. Administrators, teachers, and businesses all have their own electronic means of communicating within their own groups. Using the same vehicle, electronic communications, I wish to show how high school graduation rates will rise in quality and quanity. The concept of the village educating the child was introduced long ago and more recently re-introduced by the First Lady. Include the notion espoused by many former Presidents who joined with Colin Powell in Philadelphia recently to form a corps of volunteers. Add to that the efforts of John Gage to wire the schools and another Presidential mandate to study how to improve race relations in America; I see telementoring fitting right into the scheme of things politically and pedagogically. Telementoring provides the means of communicating and presenting ideas and including many in the process of educating. Telementoring provides audience for the students and mentoring from a volunteer who has a concern for education. Telementoring allows for involvement by parents, business, government, and citizens in the education of its citizens. Telementoring is a vehicle which will help carry the political ideas, cultural values, and pedagogy to the people and raise the graduation rates in number and quality. It is community politics. The data which will be of interest to me include: number of students in the school, size of each grade-level class, graduating percentages of senior classes in past, percentage involved in telementoring, analysis of methods of telementoring, Internet access in school, at home. Further I will be seeking methods of retrieving and assessing data concerned with telementoring as a means to break the single teacher mold, to provide a more open doored policy, to create more performance driven curricula, to form a community which involves parents, alumni, teachers, students, school boards, administrators, and citizens. Telementoring continues and enhances the grassroots running of education in America by its local communities because it provides a means for society to be involved in education. From government agencies like OERI, ERIC, and many others, I will be gathering statistical data. Telementoring data will be collected from spots around the country which are actively involved in telementoring. They include: University of Texas at Austin, Judy Harris contact; Hewlett Packard telementoring program, David Neils contact; Department of Energy's database of mentoring and telementoring projects; the students of New York City's Murry Bergtraum High School; and other sources as they appear. Much of the major literature on telementoring, of course, is online at those spots listed in the previous paragraph. Many more articles about telementoring appear in online magazines called zines. Specific educational zines such as Kairos, CMC, Edweek, Teacher, provide useful information and data to support the effectiveness of telementoring on the graduation rate of high schoolers. Articles in commercial magazines and newspapers have discussed the merits of telementoring. Since telementoring is a relatively new application of the age old practice of mentoring, literature about mentoring should certainly be referred to. I expect to conclude that telementoring has a positive effect on the graduation rate of high schoolers. I suspect this because telementoring is relieving some of the pressures from society's desire to direct education by letting them into the schools. I further hope to add more fodder too the argument that it takes a village to educate the child. Telementoring may provide a partial solution to "too many kids for too few teachers." Telementoring may bring many of the political ideas and cultural values to America's youth. I expect to conclude that telementoring not only has a positive effect on the graduation rate of high schools, but that it will help create a better citizen. Ted Nellen

Okay - you know how to use Staff and Student E-mail, but what now? Below are some ideas for incorporating e-mail into your classroom. Sections are separate for Elementary Middle High School , and Miscellaneous Monster Exchange - Monster Exchange is designed to encourage the development of reading and writing skills while integrating Internet technology into the classroom curriculum. Classrooms from a variety of schools worldwide are paired together; the students in each classroom are split into groups, each of which designs an original picture of a monster. The students must then write a description of the monster. The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via e-mail and the Internet. These students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The true challenge involves creating a redrawn picture as close to the original picture as possible without looking at the original and using only the written description of the monster. Elementary Selena on the Move - Our kindergarten and first grade classes will send Selena the armadillo, our project mascot, to participating classes across America. When Selena visits a class, she will come with the book 'The Armadillo From Amarillo', her suitcase and a scrapbook of Fort Worth, Texas. Selena will visit each classroom for one week. When she arrives, the host class will email the coordinating classrooms and let them know Selena arrived safely. During Selena’s visit the host class will record their daily adventures with Selena in her online journal. At the end of her visit, the host class will mail Selena to the next class, along with her suitcase, scrapbook and her armadillo book. The host class will also email the project coordinators to let them know Selena has left the school and is on her way to the next school. Included in this final email should be a computer generated picture of one of the favorite sites in their city. This will be added to Selena's webpage.
