Week 2/EDLD 5363 Web Conference Reflection

I was not able to attend this week's web conference, but I did watch it at a later time. In all honestly, I much prefer to wait for the link and read through the "Chat" section (even then it is hard to scroll through the conversations that are not relevant.) I have noticed though that many of the other students were as confused as I was about the assignment so the web conference is important in that aspect. Thank you Dr. Abernathy for your patience and the time you invest in these web conferences. You try to keep a focus while answering the same questions over and over.

I was also surprised by this part of the assignment. I understood that we were to attend one conference (even though more are encouraged) during the five week session. I think I can say, and have others in this class in agreement, that we need the assignments to be relevant and not have any surprises. Many (all) of us work full time in a school district in one way or another and have to ration our time. When the assignment is modified, it not only adds more time, but in the case this week, much more time invested in being confused and trying to decipher what is being requested. This week I learned how to post a podcast to Teacher Tube.
