Web Conference

Although technology may make many aspects of our life “easier” it can cause us frustration along the way.   I have embarked upon a new journey in my life.   In addition to being a mother of four, wife and sixth grade math/science teacher, I have started on another masters’ degree in technology.   This is proving to be a challenge for me.  I am not very technical “smart”. 
I was unable to personally attend the schedule web conference due to my lack of technical skills but thank God my professor made it available to students like me.  The knowledge and the information that was given during the web session were very valuable to me.  It gave me a better understanding of how to complete this week’s assignment (which was driving me nuts).  I spent so much time trying to figure out how to post my URL to the site that I was at the end of my rope.  The web session made so clear what I was doing wrong and what I needed to do.  I would not have been able to complete the assignment without this information.   The professor was very encouraging and patient with those in attendance.
This week’s conference made me realize that just like a class you would go sit in weekly and get your questions answer, that you are able to do the same with an online class.  You are not just thrown in the deep water without a life saver.  You must just reach out and seek answers and assistance.  I better understand the value of the weekly web sessions and would highly recommend them.
