During her Jan-Feb 2015 internship with Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, Wona Chang created two visualizations using Prezi. In one she showed a "learning path" that guides visitors through the different strategies and resources offered by the T/MI and Tutor/Mentor Connection. In the second, she showed different sections of the T/MI web site.
Below is the "learning path" video:
Below is the introduction to the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC web site at http://www.tutormentorexchange.net
Hopefully these will be used by thousands of people who are looking for ways to help high quality, constantly-improving tutor/mentor programs grow in big cities like Chicago.
I wrote this article
focused on deeper learning in 2012. It emphasizes the many hours of
reading and reflection needed to understand issues before being able to
lead and innovate solutions. The work Wona and other interns have done
illustrates a learning strategy that could be duplicated in many places.
Spend time browsing information related to an issue that is important
to you, then create your own visualization to guide others through the
same information.
If more people do this for many years we can change the way we solve problems in the world.
As I've said in the past, I think youth in high schools, college and
other non-school tutor/mentor programs could be doing the same type of
work as Wona and past interns have done, helping others in their
community find and use ideas that help great programs grow in ALL of the
places where kids need extra help.
If you're doing this work, or want to do it with the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC please introduce yourself.
