EDLD 5370 Week 3 Web Conferene Reflection

Week 3 .1 Web Conference Reflection This was not a good day for me to join the web conference. No it was not because I was enjoying food and beverage before the big game… I was pretty sick that day from the previous day of either eating something or a bug that tracked me down to reek havick. However, once feeling better on Monday I managed to look over and review the notes from the web conference to see how much good information I missed. Its not quite the same and frankly I am not thrilled I missed this. I was pleased by Dawn’s comments about the paper grading. I have expressed to her how that must be quite a load to grade each week. I am also pleased with the level of professionalism yet personalization you get from both Dawn and Dr. Mason. I am still a little confused about the paper work to submit at the end of the course/extended deadline for my internship documentation; only because my unique situation has given me a couple different schools and mentors to use. So my next e mail this week will be to Dr. Mason to clarify how to get that submitted properly. Without speaking for everyone else, Foe me, I think it’s a level of insecurity when working as a Distance Learner or using the Internet to collaborate about such important documents. I like everyone else will probably ask the same questions and maybe even two times just to make sure it’s done correctly for my sake and sanity. So, please forgive me now Dr. Mason if I do that. I will not miss the next Web conference.

EDLD 5370 Week 2 Web Conderence Reflection

Week 2 Assignment 2.1 Web Conference 1/30/12 This week’s web conference was rather late in the week in my opinion. While I still like the web conference layout of the Agenda and the feedback we get I would have rather had had it Friday or Saturday at the latest. With an assignment due the day after I felt as though I really needed to scramble to be sure and look back over all of my week’s work and then also complete this reflection. This week’s information mostly pertained to the graduates that are doing the Principal certification; which I have decided that now is not the time for me to do that. I am however going to pursue it at a later date once I have determined exactly how big of a leadership role I will take on. I am confident that in my career move just from what I have gathered as an intern I will need that certification, but perhaps not just yet. I am thankful to Dr. Mason and Dr. Abernathy for their guidance and honesty throughout the program and hope to work with them in the future on my next endeavor. I hope week 3 conference is as productive as the others have been even if it is on the afternoon of Super Bowl Sunday!
