video conference 9/17/2010

Today's video conference was rather frustrating. It took quite a while to enter the conference, the sound went in and out, and the same questions were being asked repeatedly. I did find out that I need to add a link to our team wiki on my discussion board. I also learned that I supposed to blog about the conference. Participating in a video conference is interesting, and I believe they will become more commonplace in the future. I think the conferences would be more beneficial if the number of participants was reduced. Perhaps conferences could be held by last name(in alphabetical order)A-H on one day, I-O on another day, and P-Z on yet another day. I do think that video conferencing is beneficial, but I don’t think that it should be utilized until we have an application that is powerful enough to handle the load. Perhaps a class wiki might be more advantageous. Questions could be posted by students, and answered by the coaches and/or professors.
