Week 1 MM & VT Web Conference reflection

Week 1 web conference was a good chance to get a feel for the course and the direction in which we're going. Dr. Abernathy clarified some issues and reminded us to go by the new, revised syllabus rather than the one posted in the courseware. Students asked a number of questions about the video assignment and how we are to work with a partner; Dr. Abernathy's answers were very helpful.

The assignment to do a personal digital story was a lot of fun. Since the time limit was set at three minutes, it was challenging to contain the pictures and narration to that time frame. The time limit caused me to distill the important information and cut out the fluff. I’m sure that people would prefer to listen to a story that is to the point rather than one that contains unnecessary details that tend to bog the story down.
