Reflection of Project 2

I enjoyed this piece of the project because I was able to create puzzles, tests, and rubrics. It let me get a taste of how teachers put these types of activities together for their students more efficiently than if they just made up everything and had to format it by themselves.



The website we used for creating a rubric made the process very simple and easy that involved very few steps.



The website used in creating a puzzle as an activity for the students also involved very little effort on the part of the teacher. All I had to do to complete the task was to plug in words to inclulde in the puzzle.



Creating the test also involved very little effort as well. The teacher simply makes up the questions and the answer options and the website formats the test. This leaves the teacher with the job to print the test.

Week 7, Ch. 7&8, Question 2

What is the difference between asynchronous and synchronous communication? Name and describe the Internet communication tools that fall into each category.

Synchronous communication and asynchronous communication are exact opposites of each other. Synchronous communication involves direct communication where all parties are involved at the same time. An example of synchronous communication would be the telephone. While on the telephone, one is having direct contact with another person at the same time. This does not include leaving a voicemail on another person's line because that would not be having direct contact at the same time with the other person. An example of synchronous communication on the internet would be a chat room. In a chat room, people are actively communicating at the same time. They are asking questions, making statements, and responding all at the same time. Asynchronous communication does not involved all parties being involved at the same time. An example of asynchronous communication would be E-mail. Through e-mail, one leaves another a message and cannot expect the receiver to get the message right away. Not all parties are involved at the same time when dealing with asynchronous communication.
