Web+Conference+Experiences

=Web Conference Experiences=

Week 5: This week's web conferences were canceled due to Dr. Abernathy being out of state at a national conference (lucky for her). I did access the discussion board just to check in and gather any more last minute information that I might need as I finished up my assignments. I can't believe I have finally made it! This has been a long journey that I will never forget.

Week 4: June 17, 2011 I reviewed the chat log and recording of web conference that occurred on June 12, 2011. I was not able to attend because I was at a technology conference in Galveston. I also knew that I would not be able to attend the conference scheduled on June 19 because of it being Father's Day. This week was another busy week, but I see the end in sight and I am getting better with the APA style. I am still overwhelmed with the amount of writing that this is requiring. I can not begin to imagine what it would have been like if I was still working. I am so glad that this course fell during the summer and not the school year.

Week 3: June 11, 2011 I attended today's conference to get further clarification on the revisions needed for the past week's assignment. I also had a few questions on the summary log for internship hours and I was able to get clarification from Dr. Abernathy. I was a little frustrated with the lack of consistency between what is acceptable as far as the Horizon Report edition that we could use in our assignment. I had used the 2010 version because this is what was acceptable at the time of the assignment during the course that it was completed. But then the IA took off points because we did not use the 2011 edition. Then Dr. Abernathy came back and said the 2010 edition was okay. At that point I had already spent precious time going back and re-writing my paper and wished I would have been told before doing all of the changes. UGH! Oh well, it is almost over. I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Week 2: June 2, 2011 During this week I was not able to attend the web conferences due to graduations and end of the school year obligations. I did review the chat log for the conference held on June 1 so that I could be aware of any issues, tips, or updates on this week’s assignment. After reviewing the chat logs and recordings, I feel confident that I am still on the right track with my comp exam and reflections.

Week 1: May 29, 2011 I attended today’s web conference after having reviewed the previous two web conferences that occurred earlier in the week. Through my reviews of the two previous conferences I was reassured that I was on the right track with all the writings that were due the first week. I also felt like I was not alone in feeling completely overwhelmed with the amount of writing about learning and reflecting on reflections. Dr. Abernathy was effective in cheering us on, offering much needed support and reassuring us once again by letting us know that we would not be allowed to fail in our endeavors. The next web conference that I plan on attending will be on June 1.
