Week 5 assignment/EDLD5352

Every class that I take in this course gives me just a little more information in becoming a better educator. I had no idea what was a Google doc before I took this course. Just like I had never blogged before I started graduate school. I feel that everything that I am doing in these courses is giving me that extra little something that I can tell people about and show them that I am not stuck in the old school way but that I am ready and willing to embrace technology. Too many people today are scared of technology, and that will hold them back from advancing in their field. I am looking forward to seeing what is going to be shown to me in the next few classes. I am getting closer to hitting the numbers when it comes to internship hours, but I still plan on doing a lot this summer. It is a lot of work when you are a full time teacher but it can be done. As far as my action research project goes we will have a lot of info to go over in the next few weeks and that will tell us where our results are heading as we go forward.

Week 5 Assignment/EDLD 5352

I am writing a reflection today of the three web conferences that I attend during this class. I attended the first one on January 15th. This was a good one to attend as it gave us an overview of the course, and it let us know the expectations of the course. It also gave us important information about the first weeks assignment. The second one I attended was on January 27th. This was a good one for me to attend as I had some problems with the week two assignment, and it really cleared up my questions that I had about the assignment. I thought the explanations given during this conference were very helpful for what I had asked. The last one that I attend was on February 10th, and that helped me figure out some of the questions that I had going forward towards graduation. I had asked specifically about the exam that was needed to be passed in order to graduate. The web conferences are very helpful, but there always seems to be problems with the sound, and or picture.
