Web Conferences

Web conferences can be a great tool to connect knowledgeable people together to share ideas and learn from each other. I have participated in a web conference during one of my earlier courses. It seem more effective than the ones I have watched/read from this course. Unfornately there were too many participants in the conferences for this course. It was hard for me to follow the comments. Some questions were never answered because of the various conversations going on at the same time. There was some good information about portfolios, certification, testing and outside courses. Dr. Abernathy was also able to give a little direction about the weekly assignments which proved beneficial for me. Thus, web conferences can be very helpful when the number of participants are manageable and all the participants focused on the same topic.
