1st Web Conference Blues

I have just tried to make it through my first web conference and unfortunately I have not been successful. At this point I do not know if it is my error or if the entire conference was disrupted. I was cut off from the web conference and then was unable to get back in.

I can tell from just 15 minutes that I am going to need some practice to feel comfortable using this technology. The speed that everyone was talking made it hard for me to keep up with the conversation and when I decided that I wanted to say something it seemed that everyone was already on another topic. I will need some practice to feel comfortable and I believe that if there were fewer participants I could keep up better.

I believe that web conferencing could be a useful tool if used in the proper circumstance. Web conferencing could be used to meet with potential vendors as well as used for some professional development sessions. I also believe that the better the technology the more effective a web conference would be.
