Blog Assignment #1

Here you will find three links to blogs related to education and instructional design.  I have enclosed a brief description of each to give you an idea of what you might find if you were to visit the site.


The first is an education blog http://ilearntechnology.com/ with the primary goal of helping educators to incorporate the use of technology into their classroom. This website was awarded the Edublog award for best website in 2009 (http://edublogawards.com/2009/best-educational-tech-support-edublog-2009/) You'll find a wealth of information for practically implementing various technologies into the classroom setting.









The second blog is http://www.21apples.org/  Here's what the author says about his site:

"21apples is a blog with a few lofty goals

• explore ways of empowering students to be more in control of their own learning
• help educators learn more about integrating technology into their curricula
• propose educational projects and hear feedback from around the world
• evangelize the benefits of particular technlogies in helping young people learn"

I chose this blog because it is an eclectic mix of information that is useful to me both as an instructor and as a learner. He uses cutting edge information and technology mixed with art.

My third blog http://123elearning.blogspot.com/ is from an instructor from another part of the world who's goal is to link people together for the purpose of improving education. It seemed to fit well with the basic idea of the assignment from Dr. Artino and I was intrigued by the challenges faced by her as she attempts to connect with other educators around the globe.

I hope you find these links useful and interesting. I hope to add more as I come across them and I will figure out the best way to post the links to my blog site for easy access.
