EDLD 5363 Web Conference Updates

The Week Two web conference was very enlightening. It helped solve some issues of what was to be done for this week’s assignment. There were issues with the courseware due to loading by EPIC. Once the web conference was over those issues were solved. The main issues of the we conference was how to do our podcast and ways to make it better. I was very upset and disheartened before about the assignment but afterwards I felt better and was able to make the podcast without any problems. We also covered how to go about choosing our groups for the final week’s project. By the end of the web conference I had my group and we had already started the initial meetings to decide our course of action for the project. The web conference for Week Three was good. It answered a lot of questions about the assignment and discussed areas we had not thought about. It gave us a few ideas about how to make our project better. We took those ideas and ran with them. Our final product should be one of the better ones. I have a great team to work with. We also discussed issues with the paperwork and exactly what needed to be turned in. Week 4’s web conference finally cleared up most if not all of the issues about the final product. Mostly it was the wording of the assignment. There were cases in the rubric that the wording didn’t match the assignment requirements. But Dr. Abernathy cleared those up and the assignments were more clearly understood. Week 5’s web conference discussed what was required for turn-in in TK20, our wiki, and the blog. Dr. Abernathy stressed that we must keep up with our course embedded hours and competencies. She stressed that we should not wait until the last moment to start to work on these. If we wait and everything is not complete it could impact our graduation and completion date.
