Web Conferencing

Hello Readers, it is almost time for Fourth of July celebrations to ensue so I will make this one brief! I had a good web conference with four other students from my instructional technology course and it went well. The site we used was CentralDesktop, and it seemed to work fairly well. It could have gone better if we were all more versed in how it worked, and perhaps we could have tried one with less options to start, but we figured it out pretty quickly. Most of this was due to the superb hosting skills of Amanda. We used the website to put together a Powerpoint presentation that we are still editing right now, but I will try to post it tomorrow before I go to the family lake house. We also discussed many of the applications that this tool could have for education and agreed that it was very useful. We each had to call in on a telephone for the conference, but there was no video so no one had to look at my Mickey Mouse pjs. All in all It was a little confusing for a onetime thing, but would be very useful as a tool if used frequently, or as a presentation tool.
