Web Conference Reflection

I attended the first web conference for this class and it was a little overwhelming trying to keep up with all of the questions. Many students were confused by what was expected of the course and were upset that the syllabus kept changing. This course fell before spring break and many students were asking if they could work ahead in order to keep up with the class. Several people were disappointed because they were told they would not be able to work ahead because there would be changes in the assignments each week. Overall, I found the experience did not benefit me as well as web conferences in other classes. Part of this may have been because there seemed to be so much confusion from week one and as the course continued. As I read over the web conferences for the following weeks there seems to be the same pattern. Students were asking for help at a rapid rate. I do believe that web conferences are very beneficial and serve a purpose of keeping students informed. Had I not attended the first web conference I would have submitted the wrong assignments or read a book that was not necessary.
