My only issue with this is that in China this tool requires a VPN. I am sure there are tools that are not restricted, but I would need to explore those. ]]> 2023-02-18 08:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2487010238 patrickwells3 https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2487010662 A big focus for our school this year is to push the students in how they share their learning in their final product. We want the students to create experiences, rather than "poster board presentations." This is hard to think of and it is hard to find great examples of what can be done. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. ]]> 2023-02-18 08:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2487010662 patrickwells3 https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2487011108 I realize that this is just another "planner" idea, but I think that having a form to guide students in the preparation of their mentor meetings will help. The biggest feedback from mentors that I get is that students have a hard time sharing. I think that students need some form of "practice" before these meetings, that is quick and helpful. ]]> 2023-02-18 08:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2487011108 https://padlet.com/patrickwells3/fkzksd5604okm8r/wish/2488390141 What exactly is the mentor expected to do? I confess I'm still a bit in the dark about that. Is this mentor meant to be something of a guide on the whole subject-specific process, with whom they have for example a weekly check-in? Or just someone they can go to for specific questions or when they get stuck etc? 
I do agree it would be helpful for both parties if they know what they're supposed to discuss :-)

Perhaps there might be something that might suit your students and your situation?

So, you are spot-on!

Our students and mentors are usually briefed before the PYPX on the expectations. 

They are usually required to check in with their mentors twice a cycle and to provide evidence of findings which are then discussed in detail. 

The students and mentors also have guidelines that must be adhered to, which are used to assess them and their progress throughout their journey. The mentor completes the final report at the end of the exhibition.  

I hope this makes sense.
