Oh, the benefits of using technology to save time and money! Web conferencing really is a great cost and time effective tool to meet with your classmates and professor on course items, especially when all of us are scattered across the state! This really was a neat experience for me to learn how to use this tool and all of the software and hardware needed to have a good web conference. Luckily for me, the hardware requirements (mainly the web camera and microphone) are contained within my laptop, making them especially easy to use and hassle free.
In addition to learning how to properly use this tool, it was really neat to have the opportunity to meet my classmates and converse with them on items such as: the course workload (hours spent), posting properly on discussion board, getting to know them as individuals—where they live and work, interests, etc. It was nice to see and get to speak with Dr. Abshire about the assignments and more specifically, the internship requirements and expectations that many of us were overwhelmed with.
All in all, the web conference was a great success and an all around wonderful opportunity for the students to interact with each other as well as Dr. Abshire on varying topics concerning this course.
