Group Video-Telling Time

EDLD 5363 Web Conference Reflection #3

The last web conference was short and sweet. It was on Saturday, June 30th. Lots of people had questions about 4.3 and 4.4. Kay Abernathy assured us that she wasn’t a “gotcha” professor and that she just wanted us learning and growing. She also talked about how some people didn’t have grades and that they needed to email her if this was the case. She wanted to make sure that everyone had a grade. She also said that if we had trouble turning stuff in then we needed to email her with our problems because apparently there was a lot of confusion with the assignments for week 4 and what exactly we had to turn in. She stated that we didn’t have to turn in video for week four only for week five.

I was able to attend Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Professor Abernathy talked about how all the footers on our assignments should now say Lamar University June 2012 and if you had a different date then you needed the correct one. She also told us about the resources tab and that we should all go there and watch her Digital Story. It was a good example for us to watch and to help us get started. People once again were asking about the “cookbook” and if it was a requirement. A lot of the course needed to be cleaned up because it had a lot of the old class requirements on it still and a lot of the students were getting confused. Dr. Abernathy mentioned that Lamar University will be using Blackboard for the August 27th session. There were some technical difficulties with the sound but of course that happens. People in the class were being nice by answering peoples questions about posting the script to our story. They mentioned that it needed to go into the discussion board and not just put a quote into the discussion board. We also talked about forming our groups for week 3. I also learned that there is a George Williams and myself, Georgee Ruiz-Williams so that was kind of funny. The important part about this conference was that we all needed the right assignments and that we should start forming groups.

I had to work for the Monday, June 4th web conference but I watched the recording. Professor Abernathy explained that she was there to answer any questions that we had. People were confused about what assignments were the correct ones because a lot of them had 2009 printed down at the bottom. People asked about who their IAs were because apparently there were two. A lot of people had the wrong assigments because the old assignments had been posted onto EPIC. People were also asking about the readings and if the cookbook was a requirement. Professor Abernathy assured the class that the new assignments would be posted soon.
