Navigate 1.1.1 Delineating Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Content

When it comes to the different types of delivery methods for teaching, I, personally, I used to a traditional classroom of synchronous learning.  I currently teach high school math in a public high school.  But I am hoping to have the opportunity to begin teaching some math classes through the virtual school program.  I was unfamiliar with the synchronous and asynchronous learning until reading through some of the provided resources.  I think that some students would be better suited for a more asynchronous type environment, especially if the student likes to work along and is very self-driven.  But there are some instances where synchronous virtual learning would be very beneficial.  It is always helpful to hear what others have to say and get others' opinions on the topics.  As a math teacher, I would think I would have a lot of students that would probably show up for my synchronous sessions because it always helps student to see someone else work out problems or show a different way to work a problem out.  I believe that we will always need some level of synchronous learning, but I think that a lot of students would still benefit from having more asynchronous learning.  I feel like with asynchronous learning, it puts most of the responsibility on the student to learn and complete what needs to be done.  We need more students that are self-sufficient and self-driven.

I found the picture below that I feel gives a good description of synchronous and asynchronous learning.
