Dear moderators,
To be able to answer the questions you have posted for week 2 where can we find the link to the library. Because the link on this page says "Reading for week 3", is it just a typing mistake?

Hi Debora, go to the right side of this page,. At the top on the right see the word "navigator" . Scroll the mouse and you'll see " reading library". It was there where I found the texts. I hope I am right.

thank you very much moderators for putting everything here in the wiki besides what we find in Edmodo. It does help to find all materials in one place.

Hello everyone. We are half way through week two, and we have enjoyed an excellent presentation by Gabriel Diaz Maggioli on scaffolding in mentoring - you can catch it by clicking on the link which Tamas has uploaded in Edmodo.

The second opportunity for engagement has been the three questions for participants to respond to. We've had quite a few posts in to titan pad this week in response to these questions, but there is still a lot of room on the titan pad! Do go in and read what others have said and either comment or leave your own post. I've entered some comments on postings just now. Click on http://titanpad.com/QV7tqIX65v

The questions are as follows:
Many of you mentioned last week various challenges in interacting in a mentoring situation. How do you overcome this?

2. What needs do new teachers (or more experienced teachers seeking mentors) have in order to succeed as professionals?

3. What did you take from listening to the youtube talk? What does Dr. Grandin say about mentor/mentee interaction?
