Sonya Lanham: Mine is a fifth grade teacher on campus Courtney Morawski: we pick a teacher to be our mentee and then we coach each other on what to say to them... Sonya Lanham: I think so Courtney Morawski: I am working with a 2nd grade teacher but haven't discussed our lesson yet Jeffrey Marx: I thought we are coaching each other Courtney Morawski: Yes, we coach on ways to work with our mentee, confusing huh Courtney Morawski: i think.. Sonya Lanham: It took me awhile to understand what to do Jeffrey Marx: This is the first I hear about a mentee Courtney Morawski: what are we suppose to do today, that is what I am confused about... Sonya Lanham: I think just discuss our mentee and what they will be doing Courtney Morawski: Let's decide who is coaching who... Sonya Lanham: Mine is doing a lesson on Louisiana Purchase with Powerpoint in 5th grade social studies Jeffrey Marx: How did you find out we need a mentee? Courtney Morawski: I watched the mentoring experience video she sent the link to Sonya Lanham: I missed that. Courtney Morawski: it was in the announcments i think Sonya Lanham: Jeff do you know who you will be working with? Jeffrey Marx: Is the lesson plan we are supposed to develop for ourslves or our mentee Courtney Morawski: mentee Sonya Lanham: Mine does not have alot of technology exp so I will be more of expert coach Sonya Lanham: Have you all worked on the prof goals? Jeffrey Marx: I guess I need to get a mentee Courtney Morawski: Does she already have a lesson plan or are you writing it together Sonya Lanham: She should. Jeffrey Marx: This is different concept from the sample that was given in the syllabus Courtney Morawski: I am really confused as well Jeffrey Marx: I think I will call Ms. Swiderski tomorrow Courtney Morawski: sounds good. maybe you can copy us if she clarifies for you tomorrow Sonya Lanham: I am leaving tomorrow and will not be able to do this tomorrow. Courtney Morawski: I will plan on putting this chat as documentation that we had a pre-conf Sonya Lanham: So will I Jeffrey Marx: so will I Sonya Lanham: I wrote this questions down and I am not sure where I got them so here goes Sonya Lanham: What is main goal for your lesson Sonya Lanham: What grade level Sonya Lanham: Will they work independently or groups Sonya Lanham: What will be your evaluation goals for the teacher Sonya Lanham: What assessment will be used. Sonya Lanham: How do you plan to introduced the concept Courtney Morawski: My main goal is to integrate tech into a lesson for 2nd grade. They will work independently in parts and in groups at other times, don't know evaluation goals yet or assessment. Sonya Lanham: These are the questions I think we should be asking each other Sonya Lanham: We have enough computers for every student but I'm not sure what she has in mind. Courtney Morawski: are you using a lab? Sonya Lanham: yes Courtney Morawski: mobile? Sonya Lanham: No were a poor small district Courtney Morawski: :) Jeffrey Marx: What are the lesson goals? Sonya Lanham: For the students to learn powerpoint and research techniques Sonya Lanham: Our elementary hasn't used alot of technology except for tutorials and that sort of thing Jeffrey Marx: What technology tools will you be using? Sonya Lanham: We will be using powerpoint and microsoft word. the students will save their notes in word and also cut and paste from Internet. We will also go over copyright Courtney Morawski: sounds like this will be a good lesson Sonya Lanham: Have you are worked on your prof dev plan? Courtney Morawski: no, i think they are due in mod 3 Jeffrey Marx: How will you model what you want the students to do? Sonya Lanham: The teacher will be demonstrating with a projector. I am going to suggest she does one first to give the an example. I think they will love the powerpoint Courtney Morawski: I think you are right, you might want to go over the rules about adding sounds and transitions, sometimes they go overbaord :) Sonya Lanham: They love all the bell and whistles Jeffrey Marx: Will the students work at the computers while she demonstrates Sonya Lanham: what do you think is the best way Courtney Morawski: i think the first time they watch and the 2nd time you walk them through at the computer then independent Jeffrey Marx: I think it depends on how the lab is set-up...ideally the students could practice while she is demonstrating Courtney Morawski: yes, the lab setup is very important Sonya Lanham: I usually show an example and then have the students work through with me. Courtney Morawski: I am sorry guys but motherhood is calling. My baby is crying...Please let mek now if anything else happens. Sonya Lanham: Don't forget to save Jeffrey Marx: Unfortunately, my lab is not set-up so I can have the students at the computers while I demonstrate Courtney Morawski: thanks for the reminder sonya, bye!!! Sonya Lanham: We will be working in the elementary lab and I am not sure how it is set up Courtney Morawski has left the chat. Jeffrey Marx: bye Courtney..I'll let you know if I find anything out Sonya Lanham: Do you think we have done enough? Jeffrey Marx: My understanding was we partner up and take turns being mentor and mentee. So far my role has been mentor Sonya Lanham: I have been confused about all of this Sonya Lanham: I read about the video taping and that really confuses me Jeffrey Marx: I guess this is enough for know...at least it shows we tried Sonya Lanham: ok bye
