How exciting it was to reach the very last part of my coursework in Educational Technology Leadership. I enjoyed my two week break after completing Teaching with Technology. I was determined to enjoy the break since I heard horror stories about the intense workload in the Internship.
My excitement soon disappeared as I opened the course and saw the first week's assignment. It only had six parts and was 17 pages long!
I was able to participate in the first web conference for the class. It was held on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. When I logged in, I was happy to see Debbie Anderson's names. I had worked with her on two separate group projects. The other names I had not seen before...then Deann Thompson entered sometime later. I also worked with Deann on the same two group projects.
The web conference went smoothly as students posted question after question to Dr. Mason. I had a rough start with this course, but am determined to complete it in 5 weeks. We just received the name of our Instructor Associate, Sarah LaPuma. I had her for one other course, and then she had a baby. I bet it is nearly two years old now.
This web conference was filled with valuable information. I did get the fact that if I went on the courseware and download the checklist...it will all become much clearer. Students rightfully complained about the different versions of the handbook and how confusing it was to fumble through all of them.
I think that after I complete this week...and get some needed rest, I'll have a new outlook for Week 2.
My next Web Conference will be on Tuesday, April 26, 2011; I won't be making the Wednesday night conferences, since we have church.
