Hey there NTI gang… Well
another week and it’s getting better and better for me. I hope the sane for you
as well. Now to blog business. Hmmmmm… synchronous versus asynchronous – which do
I like better, and why. I can say for me they are “equally” beneficial;
however, if I had to choose one, it would definitely be synchronous. The reason
I say that is because learning in a group setting (synchronous) allows me to
get information and ideas from other professionals that I can take back and
utilize for myself. It has also given me a chance to grow as an individual and
become more confident because I realize that I may not be the only person
experiencing trial and error when it comes to being a new teacher. I figure the
more the merrier. I tend to learn better in a group setting because what I don’t
know or may be too embarrassed to ask the teacher to explain, I can always ask
three then the teacher. I feel a little more confident when I am in a group setting.
Not sure why, I just do. I also enjoy the comradery with my classmates. Building
positive and long-lasting relationships that is beneficial to my career. Don’t
get me wrong, asynchronous is a great way to work; however, for me I feel like
sometimes I second guess myself when I work by myself. I tend to be an
over-thinker and that takes a lot of my time, especially when I have deadlines
to meet. With my group setting, it helps me stay on task and get the job done
effective and efficiently. I can say that our intelligent and awesome professor,
Dr. Burns has definitely done a great job with implementing both learning
styles.

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
