Web Conference 12-11-2011

I was able to review the Web conference for 12-11-2011. In this conference the participants were able to wrap up multiple loose ends in this program. Some of the loose ends I wish I would have seen before tonight. One of which would have been the fact that we do not have to publish our discussion boards this week. I had at this point in the night published my initial response and a comment to another student who must have missed this conference also. Either way the failure to follow that particular direction only gave me a chance to practice my writing skills and communicate with another student. I did notice that the web conference did have a large amount of material that did not necessarily belong to the course work. There were comments on the football team’s successes as well as other items. There were also complements on the proficiency of our IA for this course. It is amazing to me how this one tool can bring people from around the state together in order to participate in this exercise whether it is academic or otherwise.

Web Conference 12-4-2011

As this program continues to move along I find myself asking more questions with fewer answers. Number one on the list is how do I fit all of the items that I have learned into this program? The course is created to develop new skills in each of us. In my opinion if we all had these skills already then there would be no reason to take the course. In this web conference Dr. Abernathy had addressed multiple areas of concern. Such items as what needs to be turned into this week. Some of the items were welcomed relief in this high paced course. We were extended the opportunity to work on our Public Service Announcements with our group members in lieu of doing our discussion boards and another assignment. This worked out well for me because I needed the extra time to address issues with my understanding in this program. I was fortunate to be in a group that worked well together.
