who knew?????

well, i must say that by doing the mentoring group I have learned a lot. So, far I have done a few groups and it has actually been fun!!!!!!!!!!! my first group involved quite a few of the staff at my school. i taught them how we can implement apangea and teenbiz into our classrooms. i know your thinking what are those programs?? well, apangea is a online math program and teenbiz is an online english program. previously, these programs were only available to our special education kids but now they are available to everyone. it was nice to see some staff members excited about learning new programs. hopefully each of our students will be able to benefit from these wonderful programs.
i have also began a small mentoring group with two special education teachers. in this group we are going over some of the basics of computers and some of the programs that we have available at our school. right now we are focusing on powerpoint and how it can be used in the classroom. it's nice to be able to share the knowledge that i have acquired to other people. so to my fellow mentors, keep up the good work.....ttyl
