Web Conference Reflection

As I reflect on the web conference that I was able to view, it falls in line with the format of all other web conferences. My main concern with the conferences is there relevance to the course. They have all been optional with the exception of one course that I have had, but for this course, they were not even posted. The one link that was posted through email was not visible or available for view, so my reflection comes from four weeks of not being able to access the web conferences. Reflecting on the conferences is pointless if they are not accessible, but I can only assume that my fellow classmates who attended were able to chat with each other and ask questions of the web conference host. I do hope that they were able to get their questions answered, but because of the lack of accessibility, my group members and I were forced to assume that our assignments were done correctly and forced to find answers on our own. I am sure as an educational leader or principal that I will have to do figure things out on my own in some situations, so this was a truly enlightening learning experience.

During this course I learned how to use Google Docs which was a new area of learning for me. I found these assignments very informative and interesting to do with my group members because I could see the editing, and use this tool in a classroom setting. I do like to learn new things and Google Docs taught me how to access my distant friends and to collaborate on activities and documents. As far as my Campus-Supervised Internship Activities are concerned, I have completed a great deal of my activities. I am almost finished with my activities, but there are some activities that I will have to adjust due to me starting at a new campus in a new district. There are different policies with my new district, so finding a balance and completing my activities in the next four months will be a task. My Action Research Project will have to be adjusted also with my change in employment. I will keep with the topic of professional development, but my delivery of the Action Research Plan has changed. My new school and administrative team are very open to the idea and welcome my topic. For the next four months, I will need to focus on my audience being a smaller group of educators.
