Week 2 Web Conference

This web conference about the internship was a bit overwhelming. I’m sure the internship will be a constant work in progress and that the program will direct us as we go - what to do and when to get it done, at least I hope so! I have a perfect candidate to be my mentor, we have a great instructional technology coordinator, and I hope she is willing to help me. The overall web conference format is a bit confusing because the microphones do not work for everyone and there is a delay. I know lots of businesses these days use web conferencing, it seems it would be a difficult platform for communication; I prefer the old conference call so far because technical difficulties are less likely. Although, I enjoy watching people answer on their web cameras by nodding their head. I found myself nodding my head as well, even though I don’t have a camera. Overall, I am glad I have the web conference as a resource, it makes me feel more connected, and I hope I will be able to attend the future Wednesday evening conferences.
