Web Conference - EDLD 5306 Wk5

This weeks web conference was moved to Tuesday at 8pm. And I actually had 2 back-to-back conferences that night. The first web conf was from my school and discussed specific social media technologies and how to incorporate them into the classroom. it was very informative and I have already tried using Cover-It-Live.

The EDLD 5306 conference this week was VERY helpful. Ms. Borel showed us how to break down the Internship Plan and the Principal Competencies into manageable pieces. This assignment had 8 areas broken into 33 topics and 78 activities, which makes you cringe just thinking about where to start. But, she gave a document which showed a breakdown of each activity and what page number to look up in the textbook. After that it was fairly easy. We also discussed the 300 hours required in the internship. 150 hours are embedded in the classes and 150 hours are on our own and the activities are laid out in the Internship Plan and Principal Competencies. There was also a document that had a to-do list for upcoming classes and activities. I was also able to share my Wordle activity I did in class with my students finding all the vocabulary words they did not know from the TAKS test. All in all it was very informative and helped me better understand the upcoming assignment.
