Wednesday night was the first time I have ever been a part of a web conference. I am almost ashamed to say it. My school district has had web conferences previously, but I guess I was always nervous to try it. However, now that I have gotten over the hump, I feel pretty confident to try them and maybe even create my own for my classes.
I thought that this conference was an informative presentation that allowed its viewers to hear the information as opposed to just reading it. I also enjoyed that we could talk and ask questions. Even though I did not have a microphone, I was still able to included by typing in the pod chat area. It was also nice to actually see other classmates (and their sons...hehe).
I feel as though web conferences would be a good teaching tool for future classes. It will allow the class to learn at home while able to see and talk with each other. I am eager to attempt somehow to incorporate this into my classes, as well as share with other colleagues.
