I attended an online web conference on April 20, 2011. This was a new experience for me. I have taken online classes before but I never actually participated via webcam in an online forum.
The web conference was set up to discuss the details of the required internship, answer question and issues. Although this was a required web conference, it was one that I would have not missed. Upon research of the program I was unaware of an internship and never would have though the planning would start in the first class. I had to get those details because in the first few weeks of the class, noticed that I maybe the only person that is not in a current teaching position. During the web conference we were told to set up a site mentor (i.e. someone at our school) and that the program allow you to take not one but two of the TEXES exam. Well one exam I do not qualify for because I am not in a classroom but I would still like to take it if I could at a later date. Well I have addressed that issue as well as what I should do since I am not at a site. Unfortunately, I will get that information at a later time. At the web conference, we were able to listen to the internship requirements, look at a power point and ask questions all at the same time. Awesome!
All in all, I enjoyed attending the web conference because it allowed me to put faces with names. I must say the conference was a success and technology was definitely on our side.
