5370+Week+3+Web+Conference

4/26/11 This web conference, hosted by Dr. Mason and threatened by the severe weather, detailed some very important aspects for completing our summary and validation report and course-embedded and standards reflections. Dr. Mason began by soliciting our questions as usual and returned answers with expertise. Clarity was given on what should be included in the summary and validation report as well as whether or not headings should be used for the different levels of the reflections. We were advised to make sure that within our 50 hours of field based experience that as many indicators as possible are addressed. We were told we were at liberty to use headings or not for the course-embedded and standards reflections. The conference ended with Dr. Mason giving details for the conference. By far, conferencing with Dr. Mason has made each week’s assignments a cinch as she provides us with just enough information to give us the jump start we need. She's always very positive and encouraging which takes the edge off for many of us who may still experience some degree of anxiety. I look forward to participating in the web conferences because I know the knowledge gained from them is pertinent to my successful completion of the week’s work and this course.
