This evening I attended a web conference with my fellow classmates and found that web conferencing can be extremely useful in attaining information. As students in the Masters of Education program, we discussed resources for using APA citations, where to find more information about our internship portfolios, and clarification about upcoming certification exams.
As a classroom teacher and future administrator, I can see how web conferencing would be extremely beneficial in schools. Web conferencing allows individuals to express questions or concerns in their field while knowledeable individuals offer answers and advice. It's a great resource for finding information, but also to discuss and recognize current trends occurring in the educational society.
While overall, my web conferencing experience was positive, I did find the conversations confusing due to the large number of participants. I think that discussions boards are slightly more beneficial because they allow organization to the "conversations." The only drawback to discussion boards is that participants don't receive instant feedback.
