Week 2 Web Conference Today

Well, the Week 2 web conference is in the books. We had a little bit of experience with “technology gremlins” as we continued to develop our skills, but all in all I think we saw a marked improvement over last week. I definitely felt somewhat intimidated listening to all of the requirements for the internship; I’ll need to remember that 18 months have a lot of days and take it one day at a time. I heard quite a bit about the “performance indicators” this evening, so I think that will be my reading for this evening!  The point Professor Borel couldn't stress enough - find a mentor right away.  I wonder if it is more beneficial to have a mentor who is more familiar with my campus or one who is more familiar with the technology.  I suppose that's a decision that will happen very soon.  My lesson learned for the day - stay ahead by a week.  The more you know going in, the more you get out.  As Professor Borel told us today, "Managing your time well will make you successful!"  So, back to the books.
