My Web Conference Experience

My first web conference was very menacing. Things were moving very fast and it was very difficult to keep up with the questions that the professor was trying to answer. There were around 100 students so I can see that this could get very difficult to handle. The experience overall was easy to sign on and relatively easy to maneuver, If I could change anything it would be the amount of students allowed on at one time. But over all I will look forward to the next opportunity to do it again.
