Hello Everyone, right now I am going to do a Mentorship update. I believe that the students are coming to an end with their essays. They are all very well done. There was a lot of revision stages, which I have learned is very important, in University, and simply in everything. Here's a look at how we have been communicating for the past 4-5 weeks. I really enjoyed going through Google Docs, it was a little hard, seeing as I didn't know much about the students, but I thought the process we used to communicate the essays, was easy and effective. I would like to use this method with my students, if I ever have the opportunity. I am still waiting for one more essay today, I think. They all may completed now, and the one that I am waiting for may have thought that they do not need to do any more revision. As you can see, this is a flaw with using Google Docs, and not knowing the students very well. Nonetheless, I have enjoyed reading their essays and offering my help.
A hug is a perfect gift- one size fits all, and
nobody minds if you exchange it.

Dear Marcy. Google Docs is really great when it comes to sharing and editing documents i.e. essays. If you need a mentorship tool to run the mentorship process, I will recommend http://www.mentory.com that lets you and your students gather around a goal and communicate in the mentorship process.

Nice post Marcy! I'm glad that I get to read about someone's mentorship that is more than just blogging. I can't wait to hear more,
