EDLD 5363 Web Conference Reflection

I attended three web conferences during EDLD 5363 and watched 2 others.  What I find interesting about the web conferences is that the information is dictated by who is attending each conference.  One conference I attended only had 5-7 students and the next one had over 20.  There is a much better dynamic when there are more students in attendance.  There are more ideas bouncing off of each other and more input.  Plus there are more questions from different perspectives allowing you to learn from someone else’s point of view.  

You can even tell a difference in two web conference that are two days in a row.  I initially thought that a web conference on Saturday would be very much like a web conference on the very next day.  Those two web conference will have similar content, but the different people attending each conference changes the content a little.  Even if you can’t attend all of the web conferences, it is beneficial to go back and watch them for that reason alone.
