Week 6 - Mentoring

Week 6 - Mentoring

It is now week six, nearly halfway through the unit and so far have found it a great experience. The topic this week is "mentoring" I feel mentoring communicates the assets of a person with high expert knowledge, guiding a person with less on the path to fulfilment. This path could on the sporting side or educational, there are different strategies and outcomes that need to be met in order 

Mentoring also communicates to me that it is a concept in which relates to a person acquiring a wider experienced knowledge base than another. It reflects on the assistance of a person who is interested and willing to learn in the concept that is being taught. This could involve education or any other mean of learning. A mentor offers help and feedback to guide their learner in the right direction. In past teaching practicals I found constructive feedback helped me more then negative aspects. My overall experience was positive one as I was given continuous feedback and examples of how I could improve my lessons for next time.

I feel being a mentor would hold both great responsibility and power. I feel it would provide great benefits in handing down their own teaching skills and experience to the younger generation of teachers. 

A mentor is seen to hold all the answers and provide constructive knowledge. I feel mentors hold a great deal of background, hands on experience and should be greatly acknowledged. 

Week 5 Blog Post - Presenting and sharing Information

Presenting and sharing Information

When the word presenting is mentioned to me, the idea of communicating through different mediums runs through my mind. Such as the formation of how information (words, pictures, colours) are shared and viewed. The meaning of presenting is a necessary component of this unit and through the use of blogging I will be able to share my information and ideas I have. 

The collaboration of a range of ideas that come to mind and and experiences I wish to share about the unit or with class mates is what helps me to blog.

As I am new to blogging and I am not fully aware of how to use all the tools available to the best of my ability but I am excited to explore Blogger, learn more about it and to read every one else's blogs.
