Facilitated Telementoring for K-12 Students and Teachers

The Electronic Emissary is a Web-based service and resource center that helps teachers and students with Internet access locate mentors who are experts in various disciplines, then plan and engage in curriculum-based learning.. In this way, the interaction that occurs among teachers and students face-to-face in the classroom is supplemented and extended by electronic mail, Web forum, chat, and audio/videoconferencing exchanges that occur among participating teachers, students, and volunteer mentors. These project-based online conversations typically range in length from 6 weeks to a full academic year, as students’ needs and interests dictate. When the issues being explored are multi-disciplinary, technically and conceptually sophisticated, or dependent upon current and highly specialized research and theory, additional expertise must be made directly available to students and teachers longitudinally, and on an as-needed basis. This is what telementoring offers to learners and educators today, and what the Electronic Emissary brings to students and teachers worldwide.https://scholarworks.wm.edu/educationbookchapters/1004/thumbnail.jp

Taking Stock in Vocabulary

How redundant do your students\u27 vocabularies seem now that school has begun again? Are you looking for ways to motivate them to use new words in their writing? If so, perhaps you might encourage them to take stock (quite literally) in certain of their favorite words. A simple set of Logo Writer tools would take the tedium out of a stock market simulation share maintenance process, allowing students to concentrate on using new words and phrases and exploring probability and mathematical problem-solving strategies

Logo Graphics by (Electronic) Mail

Have you ever seen a piece of ASCII art ? They\u27re pictures made up of text characters. You\u27ve probably heard that one pictures is worth a thousand words. In this case, a 256 x 192-pixel graphic is worth (at least) 350 text characters, which, in turn, can facilitate many new logo connections
