EDLD 5352 - Web Conference Reflection

I participated in a web conference on Monday, Jan. 30, 2012 @ 7:30pm. There were only about 17 participants. I have to first emphasize that I think web conferencing is a valuable online tool that when used effectively, has positive effects on learning. This course has been very straight forward and quite clear on what to do on the assignments. However; since we were required to attend a web conference, I chose this particular day. I figured I may gain same knowledge or insight about why we were doing the assignments, etc. The web conference was a question and answer session. Since I had no questions, it was not valuable to me. I did stay on conference and listen to the questions asked. Most of them pertained to Tk20, graduation, or their internship. All these questions for redirected to other school staff and not answered on the conference. Dr. Abernathy stated it was for questions about assignments only. Although I like have her available to answer questions, it would beneficial to have someone go into depth on the purpose of our assignments, etc.
