EDLD 5363 - Week 2 Web Conference Reflection

On Wednesday night, I was able to participate in one of the weekly web conferences. After I read the assignment for this week, I was more confused than ever about the requirements. Many of us have laughed throughout this graduate school journey about being “digital immigrants” – I feel more like this than ever this week! Having never used any editing software or creating a podcast, the thought of actually editing and podcasting about something I know nothing about is a bit overwhelming. However, I know I have many classmates I can turn to if I have questions, and Dr. Abernathy seems to always make me feel less intimidated.

This will definitely be a week of exploring and discovering new tools that I can use in future assignments as well as my classroom. It is somewhat coincidental that I am beginning a lesson during this six weeks on Marketing in my Principles of Business class, and this tool should fit in nicely with that curriculum. Hopefully, I can become knowledgeable enough to teach my students. Wish me luck!
