Webconference-EDLD-5306/Week 5


 This was the final web conference for the EDLD 5306 course. The conference was very helpful. Ms.Borel discussed the Internship Plan and the Principal Competencies and Skills Chart. This presentation answered many questions I had. The examples she mentioned for some of the activities were very helpful in developing Internship plan and the Principals Competencies and Skills Chart. She also explained what documents needed to be uploaded to TK20. The presentation was small as compared to other conferences as Ms. Borel gave us time to clarify any queries we had. The discussions between the other students and Ms.Borel answered many questions which were very informative. After the conference I was confident that my internship plan will finish in time. Overall, the course provided me with information about technology applications and usage in 21st century classrooms.

Web conference week 3: Febuary 2,2012

The week 3 web conference went more smoothly than previous conferences due to few participants being part of this conference. In-depth information about Tk20 and assignments that need to be uploaded to the course binder were shared .We also learned more about our internship plan. Because we have not gotten to the internship materials in depth at this point, it was refreshing to get some page numbers and some explanation as to what we need. Assignment due for week 3 was discussed, it seemed tough and overwhelming. We need to set up our wikis, RSS feeds and create a video in Animoto. A lot of great information on the upcoming assignments and the structure of the entire program were shared.

Reflections from web conference: January 25, 2012

This web-conference was particularly helpful as it provided a wealth of information. Details of internship requirements for the Master’s Degree were shared. I love being able to hear the questions asked by other team members, because things they discussed were the ones I will not think about until later when I have no way to receive an answer. Having this collaboration is of helpful because it helped me to feel that I am not alone and I am a part of a group. The mention of TK20 was helpful to me. The online degree would answer a lot of questions. The quality of video and audio connections was very good. We could hear and see the PowerPoint very clearly without disturbances. All I can say it was helpful and I am off to finishing my week’s 2 assignment.
