Web Conference Week 2 (9/1/2010) - Reflection

I have now attended two web conferences for my first course EDLD 5306 Concepts of Educational Technology. More students attended the second conference which gave me the opportunity to see who my fellow students are. The web conference this past week was to discuss the internship requirement for this degree. I have to say, even though I had looked at the internship handbook ahead of time and had read about it, hearing about it and looking at how many hours it takes made me a little stressed out. Along with teaching math at Oak Ridge High School, I am also the assistant dance team director and the Mu Alpha Theta sponsor. I am also active in my church with hand bells, altar guild and a twice a month bible study with a great group of people. Needless to say, I am busy. We are all busy! We all have lots of things to do and have lives away from the computer. I am still excited about this program. However now I am wondering who I will get to be my mentor throughout this program. I hate to ask people to do things like that because when you read the handbook, it sounds like the mentor has a lot of obligations. I hope I can find someone who will agree to do it.
