Video Conference

Tonight’s webconference (11-17-10) was one of the best ones I have participated in. I really liked how Dr. Mason began with an overview of the assignments and anticipated where we might have questions. This eliminated a lot of the confusion right up front and allowed the rest of the conference for additional questions and clarification.

I found myself taking notes like I was in class. I laughed because this was the first time during this Graduate experience that I have done that. I have highlighted the lecture transcripts as they have been read but I had not taken notes like that in any of my courses or video conferences it just really struck me and made me laugh.

It was good to have Dr. Mason go over the three types of reflections that we will be doing: Course Embedded, Reflections on the Standards and Reflections on the Field-based activities.

There was confusion about how we need to log our intern hours as to whether or not we just need to meet the 8 standards or all 33 indicators. I do not recall ever being told that we needed to address all 33 other than we needed to try and meet them but we for sure had to have experiences in each of the 8 standards areas.
