Communicate 4.3.1 The Synchronous Session

As an online instructor, the synchronous sessions you have with your students are the most "classroom" like interaction that you get with your students.  The synchronous session serves as the time for students to ask questions and get live feedback from the instructor about class happenings and content.  As a math teacher, I would imagine the synchronous sessions would be extremely useful to the student and the instructor.  The instructor would be able to see how the student is doing with material and help direct the student in the right way.  And the student (hopefully) would receive the assistance he/she needs to do the material correctly.  Since I am not currently teaching GAVS, I do not have any first hand experience with this.  But I have been able to participate in a synchronous session that a friend was holding.  It was very neat to see how easy it was to communicate with each other through adobe connect.  I think that the white board tool would be very useful for me to be able to work problems out with my students.  From what I have seen, there are many tools that make the synchronous sessions extremely useful.
