10. Mentoring Mrs. Shives, SFC social studies teacher I was happy to mentor Mrs. Shives because I had designed my scavenger hunt for various curricular areas.

12. Summary I enjoyed my mentoring experiences and found that I knew more than I thought I did. I also enjoyed my observations. Lots of the teachers had problems with their technology, but they dealt with it (think Plan B!) One of the best experiences was watching 4- year-olds at Chester try to help the teacher with the SmartBoard!
