Reflection-----Value of Web Conferences

I have been able to attend two web conferences thus far in my School Community Relations course. I attended the initial web conference on 2/27 and I attended another on 3/10. I have really enjoyed the web conferences, I must admit. At first, I was a little skeptical about the whole process and in a way turned off because of the difficult time I had in my first course when trying to attend these web conferences. In my second course, Research, I attended four or five of the weekly web conferences and found them to be such an invigorating experience. I almost always found that any questions I had pertaining to the weekly assignments, other students had as well, and they were always answered and a thorough explanation was provided to ensure my understanding. I enjoyed meeting new people and having the opportunity to see my professor in the flesh----even though it was via web cam. As for the web conferences for this class, School Community Relations, I have found them to be very resourceful and worth the time. I appreciate Dr. Abernathy taking time out of her busy schedule to meet with us and to answer our many questions. I also appreciate the wealth of knowledge available from other students who always seem so willing to help. The web conferences have helped me tremendously and I look forward to utilizing them in the future with my other coursework.
