What synchronous vendor application/tool did you select?
I chose Google Hangouts.
Using the application, what did you experience using the synchronous learning tool? Was the task easy? Challenging? Did the process present problems?
I found it to be easy once you get the hang of it. I don’t know that it is very clear on how to set up a Google Hangout at first. I had to speak with another teacher on how to schedule and watch the hangout. I would want to create a video that gives exact directions for how to schedule and then meet up. I have not tried Google Hangouts on a phone or iPad. I have only used it on my desktop or laptop computer. The student participant was using a cell phone. The quality of the video recording was low res and pixelated. There was a lag when I tried sharing my screen.
Document the responses and general reflections on synchronous learning and the recorded session in your blog.
