Week 2 Web Conference

The web conference for week 2 was with Dr. Abshire.  I know that I was signed on, but I am not sure of how to get my camera and mic setup for use.  I could see everyone, but I don't think I was activated.  That is something I need to get figured out.

During the session Dr. Abshire talked about the internship a little bit.  In this week's assignment all we had to do was fill out the application and choose our Site Mentor.  I chose the person who is in our district's technology department.  Dr. Abshire also talked about making sure we keep a log of everything we do to use for a portfolio.  It's aslo called a Vitae.  In this, we will need to have the past five years of our educational and work background.  I am very excited about starting the internship, but also very nervous about the extent of the work that will have to be done.

The web conferences are fun to watch.  Some of the other students chat with each other during the conference and occasionally questions do get answered.  APA style in our discussions on the discussion board has had the most questions.  One question I failed to ask or hear answered was about using APA style in our blogs.  When I wrote my blog about the technology plan, STaR Chart and E-Rate, I didn't think about if I was supposed to site them using APA style.

Overall, the web conferences are very informative and I enjoy getting face to face for a change.  I can put a face with the discussions on the discussion board.
