Reflections on the EDLD 5363 Web Conference 12/6/11

Dr. Abernathy opened up the conference by saying, "Know that we're here for you and will support you whenever we can.  Let us know if you cannot get something done by a certain time, and we will work with you.  Let me know how I can help you during this next two weeks.  Dr. Abernathy introduced her grandson, Lucas, who just popped in to do his homework.  Her house is the "homework house," and Lucas thinks his grandmother has better snacks at her house than at his own house.  Dr. Abernathy shared that she has four grandchildren.  Her youngest grandchild is eight and is named Charlotte, my mother's name.  Lucas, from the background, says, "She is annoying."  LOL.

Again, let me know if you have any questions.  Week 4 has no grades.  Work with our team and collaborate what we're doing, and be ready to finish up our PSA.  So we have two weeks to get our PSA done.  Dr. Abernathy knows that this is a busy time of year with Christmas and all.  She said, if we need any extra time, let her know.  She also mentioned that grades will not be posted until the school opens in January.

There was some discussion postings about the best way to share the video with group members.  Someone mentioned DropBox.com, which is the site our group is using to share everything -- from video clips to stills to the edited PSA, as it progresses from the rough phase to a finished product.  It is a great site to use.

This web conference was very short, possibly due to Dr. Abernathy's grandson's visit; however, she again gave us her email and phone number and encouraged us to get in touch, should we need to.
