Together or Alone??? Which is better???

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.
