Week 5 EDLD 5363 Web Conference Reflection

During Week 5 of the EDLD 5363 Multimedia Class many of us were busy working with our groups and I know due to the schedule changes I could not log in but ready the script once it was posted. I filled the rest of my time with e mails, and google doc conversations with my team that I truly enjoyed working with.
I found week 5 web conference to be much like the previous weeks -- meaning, helpful because many answers were given to help with uncertainty in the assignment postings and clarity of the outcomes.

Now to address the work and time spent with my PSA team. As I reflect over the last couple of weeks I see that for the most part we all were present for the assignment when needed. There was some clarifications made early of Week 4 and we immediately took action to make the changes necessary. I felt like Luis and I took the lead at first to get the ball rolling and organization but once Kim and Michael joined in we hit the ground running. I know Kim felt as if she did not have much of a part in the work, however her insights and comments helped a great deal. Orginally she was going to get our shots but somewhere that changed to Luis and myself, but we ultimately used Luis's shots because I could not get mine done in time for us to edit them. I took the lead on script writing and everyone agreed early for my voice to be VOICE OVER worthy so I took that role seriosuly. Michael's creative editing was very attentive to what we all collaborated and he did a marvelous job doing so. I was pleased to work with such a dedicated group and we chose a topic that I think was extremely important to us all. I only wish we had a longer time limit to make it into more. Ultimately, I am very pleased with our final product and I know our collaborative documents show how hard we all worked.

EDLD 5363 Multimedia -Web Conference Discussion

It has been two weeks since the EDLD 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology course started. This is my second time to start the class. After last summer's drop during a move I am much more confident I will be able to do the class this time around since I have less interruptions.
I have not been able to log into a web conference yet due to scheduled times and other engagements however I have utilized the Recorded Scripts of the Conferecnes and find them as a tool.
I like many others have questions about the assignments, details that may have been misunderstood or even small details that are left unsaid in the weekly TO DO List; but these have been the go to spot for clarification.

I will be getting online to do a web conference this week at some point to make sure that I am working on the right track with my team before progressing through the PSA assignment. My goal this week is to contact everyone via e mail and see who has been active in the Web Conferences thus far and who has not, then also exchange phone numbers so that not all correspondences have to be email.
I want to thank Dr. Abernathy for her efforts to be very clear to us with our weekly assignments and for choosing effective IA's such as Dawn Kirkland to be the person grading our work. Her postings of examples has been extremely helpful as well.
