On Sunday, February 27, 2011 I logged into my very first web conference for my masters degree program. What a whirlwind! There were 100 participants in the conference. Wow! I was overwhelmed by the speed of the questions being asked, the number of people asking the same question again and again, and Dr. Abernathy trying to keep up with the questions. Although the conference room was jam packed and very hectic, I do feel that I was able to get some of my questions cleared up. My questions about the book study, the weekly overviews, and the blog address were answered. After about 35 minutes, my sound started to break up more so than it had been and then the screen when blank. I tried to get back into the conference but I was never granted access back into the conference.
It was a neat experience and I would like to participate again in a smaller setting. Being new to the web conference experience, I think that I would benefit from a smaller more controlled setting the first few times I participate. I think that web conferencing is a great tool for educators and leaders to communicate and am glad that I have had the opportunity to participate.
