Musings about Web Conferencing

I attended the first web conference for this course on 7/16/11 at 10:00 AM. I like the idea of web conferencing as we use it on our campus to have some of our district wide grade level meetings. I believe it is a great way to meet other colleagues who are attending our online courses. It is a good time to collaborate and get needed information for questions we may have. We can help each other find the answers as well as having our professor, Dr. Abernathy, available for answering said questions. This day there were only two of us who showed up for the conference. Dr. Abernathy had been called upon to proctor an exam offered there on the Lamar Campus. We were not able to have video available that morning as a consequence but were able to type our conversations in. Dr. Abernathy was checking in periodically to see what was taking place and later answered our questions through the discussion board. I understand there can be extenuating circumstances and was not able to get in on the rest of our conferences.
