The first blog or professional resource that I looked at and thought would be relevant to my work as an instructional design professional was “Blogs in Plain English by Common Craft:” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN2I1pWXjXI. This streaming video explains how blogs were developed and different ways Bloggers can interact with each other. Blogs were originally started in the 20th century by news media. However, in the 21st Century Blogs changed to present not only professional but also personal news. Anyone can develop a blog from a mom, business owner, and football player. A blog post is just like an article in a newspaper or a magazine. A blogger can post and comment about assortment of discussions and build great connections.
The second blog or professional resource that I looked at and read was Learning Theory, http://www.infed.org/biblio/b-learn.htm. The website content talks about the learning theory from models, product, and processes. It talks about learning developing into an addiction like shopping or gambling. Learning changes peoples behaviors the way we, “understand, or experience, or conceptualize the world around them.” We learn more with the knowledge and the use of the experience. A person needs to get out and experience their own learning process to gain more knowledge.
Finally, the third blog or professional resource that I looked at and read was Internet Time Blog, http://www.internettime.com/blog. The website is a great tool to inform beginners to Instructional Design the key points to keep in mind when developing a webpage for the first time. The organization of the site is great because it creates places for a learner to blog their ideas and acquires great feedback. Individuals are able to stay up to date on business models and layouts of an organization to benefit the instructional designer. Individuals are able to blog their ideas with the use of graphics, chat rooms, and share information with other bloggers.
