I was unable to attend the Web Conference for this week. The conferences are normally on Thursday evenings and I have a standing commitment on Thursday evenings from 7-10 which makes it difficult for me to have the opportunity to participate in these conferences. I would hope that throughout the program they will vary the evenings that they offer the web conferences so that others might have a chance to attend.
I did watch the recorded version. After viewing the conference I feel that, for me anyways, it wasn't an effective conference. They spent the majority of the first part discussing the switch to TK20. I had not been informed via email as many others had about the switch. It seems that the program will basically do the same thing that the ePortfolio wiki we created in EDLD5306 will do. I'll wait until further information before making the $100 purchase.
The rest of the conference was mainly about the topics that students had chosen for the action research project. Not having an opportunity to participate live, I didn't get much from that aspect of the conference. There were, however, a few topics that did benefit me a little. There were a few questions I had that were answered. Overall, this week the conference was not of much assistance to me. Really hoping that I get a chance to participate at some point, either a change of date, added conference date, or a canceled Thursday night appointment. If nothing else it seems to help with the comrade of the cohort group. I could use that to help me navigate the very confusing course outline and curriculum.
