Web Conference Week 2 Reflection

I was at first very apprehensive about attending the web conference.  I felt much better after reviewing the video on u-tube that explained the format of the conference.  I was able to connect very easily.  Although, I was surprised when I signed on at 7:45 and there were already a lot of people conferencing. It appeared that everyone was just introducing themselves, so I hope I didn’t miss anything. There was some confusion about not turning your mic on until it was your turn to speak.  There were several times when multiple mics were open and there was some unwanted feedback. I really like that you have the option of using your mic to talk, or typing in your question/response. This accommodates those who don’t mind asking questions aloud, as well as those (like myself) who aren’t comfortable asking questions. I got clarification on several things that I wasn’t sure about.  Now that I know how the conferences are conducted I will be more likely to participate in future ones.
