EDLD 5370 ED Tech Leadership Internship Web Conf 4

EDLD 5370 Week 4 Monday, September 12 a few of us joined Dr. Abernathy for our web conference. We discussed the Internship Field-based Activities Summary Report and Validation. Dr. Abernathy said one activity could cover many performance indicators. She also said that we needed to use 3 resources when documenting and the report can be single spaced. All very good to know. Reflection: I think that it would be easier on the members taking this program if the course reflections, and the embedded course reflections were required to be written and posted to our wiki while taking each of these courses. They should be graded, and required to be corrected during that course. That would relieve much of the stress of the Intern class. this last class should be all about building the exam paper and making sure you've dotted your i's and crossed your t's. Also if the APA formatting was required the entire time and graded on in all writing including the discussions, the final exam would be a breeze to put together. Just thoughts running through my head. I have done most of this all along...but could have done more. This has been quite a journey! Thank the Lord for opening this door for me!!

EDLD 5370 Week 3 Saturday, September 8, 2011 Web conference - I was unable to join Week 3 web conference due to Internet outage in my area for a few days. Therefore, I read the chat...not many people joined and not much news to share via the chat. Dr. Abernathy gave them assurance that they are doing great and will make it through, we are halfway there. That's comforting to know!

Dawn gave us her phone number in case we needed to call for clarification. The end is near. We discussed GRADUATION in DECEMBER!!! Love that!! We should have received and email about dates and information for graduation. Dr. Abernathy mentioned that Graduation is Saturday, December 17, 2011. There will be a reception at 10 am and Graduation at 1:00 pm. The reception will be for students and their families, with pictures and finger foods. Sounds great!! I'm excited! Hope to put face with names of new friends we have made during this journey. Dawn and Dr. Abernathy remain very supportive and helpful as we trudge forward on our somewhat daunting task ahead. We must remember to breathe and take it one day at a time! We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. What an awesome journey!!

EDLD 5370 ED Tech Leadership Internship Week 1 Web Conf

I was unable to attend our week 1  8/27/11, 10 am class web conference with Dr. Abernathy. Thankfully Dr. Abernathy recorded the web conference and posted the chat for us. It was nice to see some now familiar names listed in the chat room. We have all worked very hard to get to this point and it's been great to share ideas and comments in the web conferences along the way. Dr. Abernathy would like for us to submit a link to our wikis on week 2 discussion board so we can see what others are doing. She and Dawn offered great support as we get into all the writing and posting that we need to do for EDLD 5370. Thank you again for recording and post the web conference!
