EDLD 5352 - Web Conference Reflection

I attended a web conference during week 3 of this course because I had some questions about that week’s assignment.  The directions on blackboard and the directions on the word document instructions did not quite align.  Once I connected to the web conference, it became apparent that the large number of participants was causing technical difficulties and significant delays on the camera and voice feeds.  Aside from these issues, I was still able to read the questions my colleagues were typing in the chat box.  Reading these questions helped me to realize I was not alone in feeling confused about the week's assignment.  In addition to asking questions, some of the other participants were also answering the questions being asked in the chat box.  Reading the chat box helped me to understand that the plan my team and I had developed through our online collaboration was right on track to be successful on that week’s assignment.  In short, although there were technical difficulties, I was able to connect with a large number of colleagues for this course and gain understanding and clarification on the week’s assignment.
