Web conferences are a valuable way to collaborate with others via long distances. I had the opportunity to participate in my first web conference with my professor, Dr. Abernathy, and classmates at Lamar University Academic Partnerships. During this conference, the students had an opportunity to ask questions about assignments, completion of program, graduation, etc. It was also an advantage to have the professor explain assignment specifics, including helpful links that we may need to access for further information on web 2.0 resources.
Web 2.0 resources was a fairly new concept to me when I began this course. However, I believe it was the name "web 2.0" that was confusing, because I had been using these types of resources for a couple of years. It's a great way to get students involved in working with students across the globe, as well as using technololgy for collaboration on school assignments. I was able to start a list of tools that are not only excellent resources for students, but are also little to no cost to the campus/district. I'm excited to continue my exploration of these resources, and implement them in my classroom instruction,
