Our First Web Conference

I attended the web conference on Tuesday, August 30th at 8:00pm. The conference was a good experience for me because it let me have a better understanding of the dynamics of this first class. At the beginning I was somehow nervous because I didn’t know if I have to know some information in advance or if I was going to be asked questions. After the other members started asking for clarification, I felt much more comfortable with the session. Dr. Abernathy was very patient and tried to answer all questions for all participants at the end of the conference. Some information that was relevant to me was the TK20 system we will be using, the explanation of the classes, and the timing that the program is going to take us from beginning to end. I think students need to be more prepared now than before, and for future conferences they should read the entire syllabus before participating. That way we don’t ask redundant questions and are able to maximize the time of the conference. Overall, I think the experience was good for a first time conference and the only thing I thought needed to improve was the audio/sound when students participate.
