WEB CONFERENCE

I found the web conference experience pretty cool. I was able to put a face with a name for some of my course mates. I think this could be a great tool for educators to use in communicating with other classes, parents, and fellow educators. Just as we were able to ask Dr. Mason questions about our assignment, this could be done between a teacher and parents in the class in regard to future field trips or upcoming major projects.
I believe we were able to have 10 people with live audio and video at once. The other possibilities with the whiteboard and screenshot view are interesting tools that could also be used to help with instruction. I hope to be able to experience future web conferences and further my knowledge of its application.
