The Emergence of E-Mentoring

Benefits of E-mentoring

• Kids receive guidance that would not be possible otherwise.
• Kids are not limited to people near them.
• Kids are more comfortable with technology and enjoy using it.
• Kids need as much help as they can possibly get, in any form possible.

Facebook Video Chat vs. Google Hangouts

Untitled Slide

• Google Hangout is free, which is a major advantage.
• Google Handout would be good for English department work at Auburn High School.
• It is good for groups chatting, which would be something that is exactly what we need.
• Facebook is better for 1 to 1 communicating.
• That serves its own purpose, but for education, I think Google Hangout is better.
