Web Conference Reflection 3

June 30, 2012

In this web conference, I was seeking general information about the submitted assignments.  The audio for the conference was going in and out in the beginning.  This conference gave me insight about submitting assignments.  It was clarified that this is a work week.  I agreed with the comments that project has definitely been a learning experience.

After the class conference, our team was able to be specific and productive with our assignment and responsibilities left to complete the product.  My team members were great about keeping updated with the web conferences and email updates.  I appreciate Dr. Abernathy’s personable responses.  I am a relational person and when the instructor responds naturally to questions, it allows me to connect even though I have never met her.  While I was collaborating on the video, I took that qualitative data into consideration.  When we allow our personalities to intermingle in the video we can connect with our students.  

Web Conference Reflection 2

This web conference directed us for Week Two.  Dr. Abernathy expressed her desire to use two voices in the audio so that we can learn more with the exercise.  Dr. Abernathy advised us that we should be advancing on our Internship plan.  I requested to change my Action Research plan because of the collaboration I have been doing on our District Technology Committee.  Dr. Abernathy made it clear that I can change the plan.  I am excited about this program and the assistance I am getting to make a difference with my students, campus, and district. 

Dr. Abernathy explained about the resources in EPIC that are posted.  I have made sure to save these documents to explore continuously for my technological growth.  I chose Movie Maker and Audacity to use for this class; however, I will investigate other programs.  I am learning that there are many different Web 2.0 tools that have the same functions.  I plan to be informative and explorative with technology to engage students.  The group collaboration was explained.  I am excited about the group project.  I plan to learn, learn, learn, and learn. 

Web Conference Reflection 1

June 4, 2012

The first web conference was informative and resourceful.  Dr. Abernathy gave explicit instructions that all the web conferences are to clarify any questions that we have about the assignments.  The written comments in the chat were also helpful.  My classmates have become resourceful and collaborative in the web conference environment.  The sites recommended for the video was helpful.  I appreciated the clarification on the assignments.

The first web conference outlined the purpose of the course to learn multimedia.  Until this course, I had limited experience with uploading video, editing video, and editing audio.   I am looking forward to integrating this information professionally and personally.  Professionally, this educational endeavor has opened up some opportunities for me in the district.  I appreciate the information Dr. Abernathy gave about exposing the School Board about the new technological experiences occurring in my classroom.  I plan to use this information next school year.
