On Sunday, February 19, I attended the 5:00 p.m. web conference for EDLD 5352 Instructional Leadership. As usual, the web conference provided me with some invaluable information regarding the Lamar Academic Partnerships program and this course. Dr. Abernathy provided quite a bit of information, and several other students chimed in with information from their personal experiences. Below are several of the key pieces of new information that I gathered:
· To complete my masters degree, I need three face-to-face meetings with a field supervisor. Dr. Abernathy provided us with the name of the contact that I need to email. Apparently, I have slipped through the cracks.
· Dr. Abernathy clarified that the Instructional Leadership Development (ILD) class was a state requirement, not a Lamar requirement. She also stated that it would be helpful to take that course before taking the state principal’s certification exam.
· Not related to the class or the master program, but important none the less, an mic left on my accident produces an echo. We went almost halfway through the conference before the cause of the echo was identified.
This web conference showed how valuable a web 2.0 conference can be to set up a professional learning community. I was able to listen and give feedback as I participated in a discussion type setting with members from all over the state of Texas.
