week 2 web conference

I wasn't able to attend a web conference, but I read the chat logs and recordings for each that was posted. I think the benefit of the conference is to build community and camaraderie with classmates that is often missing in this program. Unfortunately there have been so many issues with the connectivity that it just makes this method of communication seem more difficult than it really is. Also there are so many people saying so many things, it doesn't seem like much is actually accomplished. I don't really find the web conferences in this program useful to me, other than as a way to connect with others.
