PLE Week 5-Synchronous vs. Asynchronous

I like the asynchronous video better because instead of feeling pressured to talk, I could think of what I had to say. It wasn't as awkward as the synchronous video. The synchronous video would be a great tool if I happen to have a home bound student. We could have a conversation, and he could ask all the question needed in real time. The students would be able to keep up with the lessons, and stay on track. As we discuss subject matters, the student will be able to better retain what is taught. With this method there wouldn't be any loss of time as there would be in asynchronous communication such as emailing or messaging in facebook. 


Here is a picture of my synchronous video chat on Skype with Jasmine:
