I have to confess I was a bit nervous about today’s web conference. For one reason or another I had missed the previous ones and I was getting anxious about being ready for it and on time. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting with my peers and sharing our doubts, concerns and feelings. The overall sentiment of everyone that attended was how shocked we all are at the load of work we have to complete each week. Personally, I feel I had forgotten what attending school was!
Contrary to this feeling, I am very pleased to be able to share this experience with such talented people. I find myself growing and improving just by reading everyone’s ideas and reflections. During the conference I was able to meet other students that work near or in the same district that I work at. I am sure that this will allow for richer interactions and the development of new friendships.
Being able to meet simultaneously and synchronously added an extra value to our student experience. Not only putting a face to a name, but also realizing that we are all sharing the same feelings and having to balance out our “normal” lives to meeting the course’s expectations. A Sunday afternoon in the lives of all the attendees was enriched and eased by encouraging words from our professor and peers.
