Web+Conferences

March 26, 2011 I enjoyed the weekly web conference. Dr. Abernathy indicated deadlines had been extended for another week. Week 4 feedback is forthcoming. Only five students were in attendance and Dr. A's camera was not working; therefore, the meeting was short. Dr. A answered our questons.

I was unable to access the weekly web conference.

The weekly web conference was short. About ten students participated in the conference. Some students may have conflicting schedules since the web conferences are on Saturday mornings. The good thing is that the web conferences are recorded. Dr. A sends a transcript of the meeting and a link to the recording to all class members this makes it easier to go back and listen to dr. A's answer to our questions and for everyone not attending to hear the information first-hand. The only set-back would be if a student has a question that is not addressed at the meeting. The web conference discussions help validate my anxiety over the assignments. Most students have the same questions; therefore, I know that I am on the right track. This morning Dr. A shared she is going to a conference because she and others from Lamar Univeristy are participating in a research study. The study sounds like a very interesting experience.

The weekly web conference proved very productive. Several assignment details were clarified. Attending the web conference was very helpful. Week Two Assignments will be easier to complete than I originally thought. Dr. A dispelled some of our fears! The web conference is a good place to communicate with peers. I realize many of the group members have the same concerns that I have. As we build on our Comprehensive Exam, we can obtain answers to our questions by participating in the web conferences. One thing that would make things easier would be for the web conference to be earlier in the week or for the following week. I was hesitant to complete all of the week two assignment prior to the web conference because I had several questions and had not received the week one feedback. As always Dr. A. was very reassuring and accomodating!

I participated in the TK20 web conference Thursday, February 17 at 7 p.m. Dr. Abernathy led the web conference. Dr. Mason and Dr. Abshire also participated. Not many students attended; therefore, the conference did not last the full hour. Those of us who were interested in receiving the link to the two prior TK20 web conferences gave our email address to Dr. Abernathy. Dr. A. sent us the links as promised. Additionally, Dr. A. sent us the link to more TK20 information. As always the web conference proved to be informative. It is nice to obtain feedback and answers to our questions. Also, we hear answers to questions posed by other students. The information is always helpful.

My understanding is that Lamar University strongly recommends all students purchase the TK20. Since I have completed all coursework with exception of the internship, at this time I am not going to purchase TK20.

As always I enjoyed the web conference experience. Melba Morales

I viewed the recording for the February 26 web conference and read the transcript of the conference. Many questions were answered during the web conference. Additionally, Dr. A. provided clarification on the assignment requirements. The new information was helpful to have before submitting the assignments for the week.
