Reflections from Web Conferences from EDLD 5363

July 2nd, 2012 (week 5)
      During this web conference, there was much discussion on what exactly was due this last week of the course.  There was some confusion on the reflection portion of the assignments.  That is one great asset to web conferences, you can ask questions and either your colleagues or professor can answer them.  I did not find this week very useful.  I personally understood what was being asked.  I did find it interesting how many people joined that web conference.  I find that the more people the better.  You really get an insight to who your classmates are and if they have the same questions as you.

      Again, the first 10 minutes were talking to specific people and not relevant to me.  There was a lot of empty spaces.  Where people did not have questions or there was not speaking.  Dr. Abernathy talked a little bit about internship hours.  Almost like a friendly reminder to keep it up.  There was not much discussed at the web conference.

June 17th, 2012 (week 3)
      The web conference took quite awhile to actually get started.  There was a lot of "getting started" information.  Eventually, Dr. Abernathy began to discuss what is actually needed for week 3 and so forth.  I found it interesting what some people really do not know.  I found week 1 and 2 easy, but some people were lost and apparently did not read.  Dr. Abernathy shared some of her teaching and grading philosophy, which i found interesting.  I like observing web conferences, but I  sometimes find them a waste of time.  I like the concept of being able to ask questions, but most of the time, I already knew most of the answers.  I am not trying to sound pompous, but I am glad that I do not have web camera, because then I can do other things while people are talking.
