After two unsuccessful prior attempts to attend web conferences scheduled for my Lamar graduation class on technology,I kept trying and was finally able to attend the morning of Saturday, March 26.
I was so excited that I had successfully logged in and had entered the virtual room, I sat glued to the computer screen while my heart raced. Slowly, students began trickling in and Dr. Abernathy closed the session at 25 students.
I had expected a formal venue; however, Dr. Abernathy set a relaxed tone as we began to interact with one another (as well as with her). While I wasn't able to hear anyone besides Dr. Abernathy, online keyboard chatting was comfortable for me and in some ways I felt like I had known the other students throughout the course.
After getting to know where we worked, where we were from, we began asking questions like what the LCE is like and what is expected in the Internship 12th course. As questions and answers flew back and forth there was a spirit of commradory. Sadly, my computer froze and once again I was hit with the reality that technology "bytes!" However, I am looking forward to the next conference and hope that I can lead one in the future with my staff.
