I joined into my 3rd web conference, and was pleased with the results. This time around I was able to connect my camera. I also was able to fully enjoy the benefits of real-time communication since I set down to a proper Internet connection for the first time all summer. Sound seems to be the only problem with the web conferencing, but at this time I think it is an across the board problem since all members of our web conference struggled with the sound. This however was only a minor setback.
During our web conference Dr. Abernathy spent time helping all of us to more fully realize the potential in our action research. To my delight we spoke in some detail about what expectations the final product of our action research should meet. While the final action research project is a while away, Dr. Abernathy encouraged publication of our research as well as professional presentations. She also encouraged all of use to work together to prepare our writing and presentations for these sharing methods. I was concerned in some way about my style of writing, especially should much of it be completed during high school debate season. I was excited when Dr. Abernathy suggested that perhaps it would be appropriate to use a debate style of writing to look at my final writing project. Data, warrant, claim...professional development and technology research will be able to be viewed from hopefully a positive and successful light, but potentially show the disadvantages of focusing so much on the campus professional development and it's follow-up.
I am excited and charged to work on this once scary project!
