Reflection of Week 1 Web Conference EDLD 5363

I was not able to attend the web conferences this week since we were visiting our son, daughter-in-law, and three year old granddaughter.  Our granddaughter demands our full attention at all times, therefore, web conference was out of the question; however, I did want to view the chat list and recording.  I began with the chat list to see what information I could glean from that.  After a few minutes I was totally confused. The most you can get from the chat is web addresses and emails; without the recording, the rest is gibberish.  Next, I opened the recording.  I like the new setup and realized the chat is much easier to follow on the bottom than on the side.  A little into the conference, I realized quite a few people had issues with old assignments.  I did obtain the new assignments through EPIC, but the readings and the video transcript was not updated.  I have a system to my studies.  I always begin with the readings then move to the assignments.  I wasted quite a bit of time on those seven readings, although there was great information.  When I couldn't find the cookbook site, I was quite stressed.  The stress was alleviated once I read the new assignments.
