EDLD 5397 Web Conference Reflection Week 1

I was not able to attend the web conference due to a meeting that I already had scheduled. I was however able to watch and listen to the recording after it was put on Epic. Before watching the recording, I had a few questions regarding the week 1 assignment, but after watching I realized that I needed to find and adjust 8 pieces of my internship plan. I was glad to get the information to go ahead and contact my mentor so that I would have time to arrange a meeting for her to review my internship plan. Although there was some good information in the web conference, it was a bit confusing because of all of the different stages all of us students are all in-many of the questions that people had were not of any importance to me, and as usual there were several questions regarding TK20. It was good to hear from Dr. Martin as he clarified that this course is more “about thinking than writing”. Because the assignment could potentially be several pages or one page, it was also reassuring to get clarification on how much detail to go into on our responses. Although there were times during the conference that people were asking questions that did not pertain to ET cohorts, overall as usual, it was nice to hear from our professors and beneficial to get information right from the source(s)!
