Web Conference: Sept. 7, 2011

     This week’s web conference was very informative. Our topics of conversation were internship requirements, internship handbook, TK20, submitting the Application for Internship and the Site-Mentor Agreement, and the steps necessary to access grade comments for the assignments.
     Ms. Borel used the internship handbook to explain the difference between the course-based embedded and field based experience hours. It was noted that we are required to complete 150 hours for each of these components throughout the 18 month degree plan. This results in a total of 300 hours to complete the requirement. Pages 5, 9, and 17 in the handbook explain the course requirements and the role of intern. Pages 28-38 of the handbook addresses the field-based activities and provides a monthly log in order to track the 150 required hours. Postings to our blogs and wikis will also be evidence of this component of the degree plan.
     Mary Johnson, a cohort 23 class member, was able to provide assistance to several classmates that needed information on how to access their grade comments on the Lamar Epic Home site. Members should click on the rubric button beneath the assignment and then click on the details button. Great job, Mary!
     I’m very glad I attended this conference. Several classmates have the same questions that I have about issues with the assignments. Each conference has been informative, and I’m beginning to recognize some names and faces of cohort 23.
