This was my first web conference due to a conflict in schedules and children. I was able to join in on the conversation a few minutes after it started. When I joined in I initial only put my first name, but a few minutes later added a comment with my first / last and my section number. I was initially over whelmed by attempting to figure out the mechanics of the web cam, and microphone, all while reading and trying to comment. Despite a screaming 5 week old in the back ground and a hungry 2 year old I did manage to figure it out after a few minutes.
The conference was mainly about community partnerships. One that seemed very intriguing was the partnership with Pizza Hut. Another major discussion was about the Mid Term and how you were unable to see which ones you missed. Dr. Jenkins stated that he had given permission to the IA's to release the answers to the students. However, I still have not heard anything back.
Several individuals had questions about TK20 and how to upload the artifacts. There was quite a few comments about the difficulty of TK20 and even a request for a refund.
Many students seem to be struggling with EDLD 5326 School Community Relations and everything this specific course seems to be asking for. I personally found this class very informative and as long as you read your overview, listen to the lectures, read the reviews, and read over the directions multiple times eventually it all comes together.
Despite the trouble with Dr. Jenkins' mic I really enjoyed meeting other individuals with a passion for education.
