First Time Web Conference
Tonight I attended my very first web conference. I have used yahoo chat to "visit" with my sister over seas, but have never participated in an instuctor led group discussion. i must admit, I was nervous! I even contemplated putting on makeup and fixing my hair! I am glad I did not, because I could never get my camera to work. It appears to be an issue with using Mac. At first, there was feedback until we muted our mics. I learned that each screen seen is called a Pod. We talked about the 18 month internship and finding a mentor. I found out I will create my own Wiki at the end. I also need to pick out a book and read it. It was a very interesting evening. As a wife, mother of a toddler, and full time teacher, I hope I will be able to keep up with this fast paced course!

Here's a quetion I have asked of every Ed. D. and Ph.D. in education, and I have yet to receive an accurate answer: "What are the 5 MOODS to learning?" Anyone have any guesses? All it takes is 5 words. Good luck and good guessing. Remember, no points off for wrong answers. In the "Brain Trust" theory, all attempts are welcome and valid.
ReplyDeleteHere's a hint. No. 1 answer = "BOREDOM". The student's mood says, "I already know this. And I don't like it. It's BORING!" Boredom is an enemy to learning. Mood No. 2 to follow later. Any comments?
ReplyDeleteNo.2 answer = "CONFUSION". The student's mindset and mood says, "I don't know this. And I don't understand it. It's CONFUSING!"
ReplyDeleteConfusion is an enemy to learning. Mood No.3 to follow later. Any comments?
