I wasn't in as much of a rush this week, so was able to log in with plenty of time to spare. I'm so thankful that there are plenty of conferences scheduled so that I am able to listen, learn, and participate. The web conferences are wonderful for answering my questions and calming my nerves. Knowing that my other colleagues are in the exact same boat as I am is very comforting.
This weeks conference was very informative. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Abernathy gives us the facts, but she always gives us some background information as well. One of the comments she made tonight is one I need to remember. She reminded us that the professors are not teaching these courses and grading us on a "gotcha" scale. We are all here to collaborate together, learn together, and make sure we get the right information to our kiddos.
Dr. Abernathy also discussed our assignment for the week. Our discussion board posts will remain the same. We will need to post one relevant quote and respond to one other quote. I find myself really enjoying the articles that are posted for us to read. They are a wealth of information! In addition, Dawn has been awesome about emailing additional reading material. I feel like I am learning so much and will keep these documents to use as personal resources. Our assignment involves the review of a free video editing software program, and creating a podcast on how to use the software. Our podcast is audio only, and a good source for recording is www.audacity.com Since I used audacity for my personal story, I'll be pretty comfortable using it for the podcast. She emphasized the use of file extensions several times! Our PSA will be developed over weeks 3-5. We need to have our teams together by tomorrow so that we will be ready to begin. We must work in teams! Collaboration and teamwork are important for your individual growth.
