Lamar web conf week 5 EDLD 5364

   I had two conferences this week, and I guess perspective is everything.  I find the web conferences from my field supervisor to be supportive, refreshing and engaging.  I am free to ask questions and receive immediate feedback.  I find the same experience in the weekly web conferences for class.  I am just glad I have the anonymity of being off camera after a long 10 plus hour day.  My dogs racing across the laptop keyboard do not help matters either, so no mic helps also.  This weeks information is still reinforcing the requirements for reflection on documents from each class, while clarifying it is already built in and requires only an addition onto the document.  It also reminded to meet with supervisors, which I have now attended two.  My field supervisor is also very careful to give information to help avoid pitfalls, and gives practical advice while leaving the hour open to questions.  It helps to know what to avoid and not to blunder blindly about.  I have always wondered why students never listen when I warn them what previous mistakes students made, and I am trying to take my own advice.  These conferences are a valuable resource.  Call it the cliff notes to the class.
