Web Conferencing

Thursday, July 21st, was my second web conference. I am impressed with the idea of using it and possibly hosting one among constituents and students. There seems to be the need to iron out a few kinks. I believe that once these are worked out, things will run smoothly.  
Some of the issues were distracting while others were simply where everyone was trying to get attention. One very annoying distraction was the constant feedback from open microphones making hearing what speakers were saying difficult.  
I believe if we stick to the final word protocol, some of our conference issues will be eliminated. It was suggested in the first conference that we raise our hands to get recognition to speak, but I’m not sure everyone was aware of this.
We simply need to have more practice doing this. Therefore, you can look for me to be in attendance at as many of the synchronous web conferences as possible.
