Challenge 4 and 5
Asynchronous tools from this section I have used to communicate with classmates would be on my blog as well as through the chat folders available in Angel, especially the "I have a Question" folder. These tools come in handy when communication is needed but not urgent. For urgent communication, synchronous communication is needed. Synchronous tools can be as simple as picking up the telephone which we all do everyday, to scheduling a Skype session with a colleague that is too far away to call.
I have found ways to use my smart phone to aid me in this course. I have set up my PLN and my blog to send alerts to my phone when I receive new posts and messages. My PLN is also set up to send me reminders of looming deadlines and important things that need to be completed.
