On Wednesday, August 24, 2011 at 8:00pm, I attended my second web conference. I was able to successfully attend the first conference last week and had decided to take advantage of the first option and attend Tuesday's class. By the time 7:45pm rolled around on the 23rd I did my best to join the conference. I spent twenty five minutes trying to join, panicking, not able to remember how to join. I gave up.
By Wednesday afternoon, I had calmed down, refusing to panic at the possibility of missing the last chance at the required conference. I was then calm enough to go back through the notes and instructions which were right there all the time.
The web conferencing is great. The learning curve for the on-line class setting, though significant, should not distract me from getting the information. The conference brings a personal touch to virtual classroom, reminding me that real people are connected to the names online. People who share my struggles and other who can help me get past them.
