I'm hosting a workshop this week where most of my participants have inconsistent Internet connections. So as a result, I need to consider how to make sure the workshop meets the needs of these participants if they get disconnected. Discussing technological barriers in the section open my mind to new possibilities.Considering these barriers will make me a more effective teacher. I'm thinking about how to create a instructional platform that works both online and off-line that will support asynchronous instruction.

I was able to co-lead a few workshops this summer where we used the async and synchronus models together. For some participants, async sessions were not a problem while it took sometime for other to adjust to learning on their own. This fall I plan to get feedback from my students on what async model works best for them. Then I will model a workflow that fits the best for my classroom.
