Post Web Conference Reflection

 Week 4 – March 19, 2013   8:00 pm

During this week’s web conference, Dr. Borel enlightened the class members on upcoming assignments and requirements for future classes.  This is very helpful as it gives us a peek into what to expect in the coming weeks.  The group project scenario was discussed as well as the types of responses necessary to fulfill the rubric requirements.  A sample project from a previous class group was shared, and I am sure that it was one of the best.  The sample project was thorough and encompassed all of the rubric requirements.  It is very helpful to view examples of the assignment completed by previous cohorts, as it provides a road map for current students.  As always, Dr. Borel was encouraging and her explanations of the assignment makes it less stressful (in my mind, anyway) to complete.  This is greatly appreciated by all of the 25 participating students.  Thank you, Dr. Borel, for the time you share with us to make our lives easier and less stressful during this Masters Degree journey.

My comments on the evaluation of this course ~ Shared:
 This course is very likely the best of all courses that I have ever taken.  The introduction to and learning of Web 2.0 and 21st century technology tools, I am sure, will aid me professionally and personally for the remainder of my lifetime.  Thanks and kudos to the designers of this course! The depth with which CAST concepts are explored can only contribute to the professional development of educators teaching and preparing today's students to be future leaders in a global environment.

The means of collaboration experienced during this course were amazing.  The ability of a group of individuals distanced far apart to discuss and work on documents simultaneously was an eye-opening experience.  I gained knowledge which I will apply throughout my professional and personal lives.  Thanks are extended to Dr. Borel, Professor, and Ms. Dawn Kirkland, Instructional Associate, for their unending and encouraging support during this course.
