EDLD 5306: Reflections from Week 2 Web Conference

The web conference for week 2 with Dr. Borel was very interesting.  This was a mandatory web conference worth 10 points. Using the words “mandatory” and “10 points” in the same sentence immediately makes me nervous. I pulled out my web conference directions and read them over and over as I waited for the 8:00 conference to start.
Finally, at 7:45 I was able to enter the web conference room. I saw my picture pop up on the screen and I was very excited.  I suddenly realized that I could not hear Dr. Borel speaking and I knew she had valuable information that I needed to hear. As I tried to work on the problem, wouldn’t you know it, my computer froze!! My stomach was nervous again.
I was able to enter the web conference room again and to my surprise, I could hear Dr. Borel. She shared information related to our Internship and answered questions from our group. We were told to start thinking about choosing a mentor for our Internship because we would need to turn the information in soon. She also explained the student embedded and field-based activities that we would complete throughout the 18 months. I am excited about starting the internship.
Overall, the web conference was informative and fun.
