Web+Conference+Schedule



**Schedule for Web Conferences: EDLD 5370**

**Directions for Assignment:**
• Learning to operate the software and hardware for an interactive web conference. • More interaction between students and faculty. • Clarification of Internship Requirements • Sharing your local experiences with one another.
 * Purpose**:

We are expecting you to participate in synchronous web conferences to be held on dates and times in the attached schedule. You are to attend one of the conferences designated for your beginning date, which classifies you in a cohort group. Prepare for the conferences now.

A headset with microphone and a web camera are preferred equipment and will allow each one of you to talk and be heard and seen by other participants. I will open the meeting room 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the conference.

You do not need additional software. Use the following link to reach the meeting room: []

Enter the room as a “guest.” Do not enter your Lamar ID and password, but key your first name and last name into the dialogue boxes you are given. This identification allows us to know who attended and on what date.

Once you gain acceptance into the meeting room, go to the left menu item, “Meeting/Manage my settings,” to set up your audio and your camera. Please know that we will limit each session to 20 people; therefore, in larger cohorts you have several opportunities to join a conference at different times. You should always use the chat function.

1. You turn on your web camera by double clicking on the video icon after you are online and in the classroom. 2. If you have trouble with your headset using Vista, Dr. Mason, who teaches Teaching with Technology, says her experience is to use a two-prong headset rather than an USB headset for best audio. USB is fine if you are using XP. I use both and have Vista. 3. Everyone may not make their cameras and headsets work especially if you have not conferenced with us in the past. Therefore, I ask you to key your questions into the Chat window and I will produce a question and answer document for all. 4. Chat is always available inside of Adobe Connect Pro. I will save the Chat session and post it so all can read later. 5. We want to take roll at each session. 6. You may join the makeup conferences if you miss your cohort times. 7.
