Web Conference EDLD 5352
January 21, 2012
I attended the first web conference for this course. It was the first live conference that I had attended while in the program. In other courses, I just viewed chat logs and recordings. I did find it beneficial to be a part of the live conference because it gave me the opportunity to ask questions instead of relying on others to ask the questions that I needed answered.
In this conference, Dr. Abernathy stated that the purpose of the conference is to clarify any questions about the class as well as questions about the program. She stated that there would be no book study as stated in the original syllabus. She told participants to make sure to load the Epic software again because she had made updates to the requirements. She also stated that for the discussion board, students only needed to choose one quote from one reading and post a response. Also, that there were no requirements to respond to others’ posts.
As in other conferences I had seen, many students had concerns about the TK20. There are still many unknowns about it and the E-portfolio. Some asked if you needed to do both and if you started the E-portfolio do you need to change to the TK20. Dr. Abernathy said if you can access the E-portfolio in Epic, then use it. She didn’t see any reason to do both, but said she would check on it to verify.
The rest of the conference was addressing requirements for certification. Dr. Abernathy said she would send a link that gave all of the information on the topic.
