Reflection Web Conference: EDLD 5364 Week 4



Dr. Abernathy addressed questions about the lesson and learning activities for week five. Several of us were confused about choosing the type of the technology she was looking for our group lesson. Dr. Abernathy explained our activities and modifications must fit in with lesson plans along with needs of the learner. The learning activities must address the diverse needs in the classroom scenario, but it was not always necessary to actually create a tangible activity. To confirm and provide proof of learning the learners need to be given an assessment. I understood this to mean that a project based activity should be completed by all students in the scenario. Dr. Abernathy once again reminded us to continue updating our group and personal wiki pages that conveyed collaboration between group members. The Web chats have proven to be a valuable resource for both the personal and group assignments. I find myself going back to the past web chats for clarification on sections of the weekly assignment I am struggling with if need be. If we all just take time to read the rubric, assignment overview, and group scenario then the class would see that most of our questions should be answered. Clarification will still be needed on certain items from the assignment. It’s also difficult to keep up with the various answers to the questions when the same question is repeated 5 or 6 times during the chat. I’m glad that the conferences are recorded, because I can review through them to find helpful comments and information.
