Web Conference

The web conference that I attended tonight was really informative. I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to go, but I have to say I was very happy I attended. During the conference multiple topics were discussed. To begin we all threw out the web 2.0 tools that we are using in the classroom. It was great to read about the tools that other were using because many of them I was not aware of. Dr. Attaway provided a clearer picture of exactly what web 2.0 tools were as well during the discussion and she listed off several places to find them. The next topic we discussed was were education and technology are heading. Dr. Attaway provided us with some interesting statistics about distance learning. One student posed the question "will teachers become obsolete if distance learning is what the majority of students are doing?". Dr. Attaway told us no, because teachers are the ones who will create those online classes. It was interesting to hear this because I have never thought about how I might be responsible for creating an online course one day. The conference was great and it was nice to hear other students thoughts about technology.
