What can you learn through telementoring? The great majority of our mentors have recognized the value of telementoring as an opportunity for their own growth and development. Some were especially interested in knowing how students are using new technology in the classroom, or were curious about what students today are taught. Others were more interested in honing their own teaching skills. A number of them were planning to become teachers themselves someday, so they were eager to sharpen their skills in an way that entailed fewer responsibilities than full time teaching. They were, in effect, looking for an opportunity to test their mettle as digital-age teachers. When telementoring relationships take place in shared electronic workspaces like Knowledge Forum®, volunteers may also be able to pick up some pointers from fellow mentors working with students in the same class. Like many of our volunteers, you may find that telementoring stretches your capabilities in a variety of ways that remind you of how far you've come in your own development.
