Web Conference March 16, 2011

With technology, there are always glitches. This week's web conference was no exception. Audio was out and I was having difficulty keeping a large screen. Without audio or cameras, it became more of a chat room. There were many participants and I had a difficult time keeping up with questions and answers. The Q & A, however, were very insiteful and I picked up a lot of information that I did not know. Information about the class was not abundant, but I picked up a lot of information about the program itself. Web conferencing can be very beneficial for a lot of reasons. Participants are all over the state and are able to come together and share information. With the participation of Dr. Cummings and other students, we can ask questions and get real time answers without leaving the home or office. This is a great tool, but could be better with smaller numbers of participant, working audio, and a better understanding of how the system works.
