Web Conference #2 (December 11) - EDLD 5363

        I found this Web Conference to be one of the most beneficial ones of this semester.  Not only did it answer questions about the assignment pending, the PSA, but it answered questions about the process for the Masters at Lamar University.
        I understood that Weeks 4 & 5 were combined to make one grade and all the work from the PSA would be the assignment for those 2 weeks.  In addition, the Final Exam Reflection was cut out due to EPIC difficulties.
        Along with understanding the assignments, Dr. Abernathy answered questions about the Lamar program.  Questions answered varied from reasons for not worrying about the GRE to ways and reasons to receive the Principal Certification.  For example, there is a student that scored high on the GRE, yet is still pursuing a Master’s degree.  Also, the Principal Certification is beneficial when pursuing a higher position, whether it is as a Principal or in an Administrator role in the offices for a district.

Collaboration

      I found our team to work well together.  We were on the same page as to keeping the PSA amusing while having some truths to it.  We had our Google Documents that we used to brainstorm and share, and we also held a couple of web conferences with each other to be able to put faces with all of our names.  I found the collaboration and deadlines we set for each other realistic in our time settings and found that everyone played important roles in the PSA. 
      When it comes to improvement for the PSA, I think it could use some imrpovement with the video segments.  Some are too dark, but all together I think the editing came together well creating an interesting and amusing PSA.
