EDLD 5363 Web Conference December 15, 2011 Reflection

     Tonight’s conference was a little shorter for me than the last. It may be because I was so distracted by the web cam not working. It was on, but it would not come up in the class. I understand it may be because of I need flash, but it has always worked before. Because I kept messing with flash and the camera, I am afraid I missed some of the discussion. I was even kicked out of the conference once and had to log back on and wait to get it in. I guess all these things are kinks in a technology that will be ironed out as time goes on, and there are always growing pains as there is progress. 
     The conference was kind of an overview of what should already be done and what to look forward to in the future.  I did not have any real questions, but enjoyed hearing Dr. Abernathy assure us that she was there to help us if we needed her. I believe this has been my favorite class so far. It has not been high stress and it is something I wanted to learn even if it was not required. In the end, I have only been to 2 web conferences. I work until 5 and to get home and be online by 6 is very difficult for me. I did make it home yesterday to get to the conference, and then discovered it was going to be on Thursday night. I wish I would have made it to more of the conferences, and I think I will miss having these web conferences available.

I believe that I have been in a team that is the most productive and motivated I have ever seen. Teri was clearly on her game from the beginning and got everything organized. Angela and Courtney were perfect for production and editing because they will not quit or be satisfied until everything is perfect. They were able to select the pictures for the video and keep them to a minimum so there could be adequate time to view them. I think Liz and I were a little blown away how competent these ladies are and the speed with which they attach a project.  Liz has been a real asset with her translations and narration in Spanish. I am very pleased we added the Spanish to reach such a large percentage of the public school parents. I could not have had a better team.  My frustration was with Google Doc. My computer and my computer at work would not run docum...
