ID Blogs and Resources



Here are a few Blogs and Wesites that are relevant to being an ID:

1. e Learning Blog - http://elearningtech.blogspot.com/
This blog blends real world learning and trends with technology. Tony Karrer, the blogger, has an extensive background in e-learning and social media. The blog provides multiple resources on e-learning concepts, tools, discussion forums, companies or organizations involved with e-learning along with all the current technology fads. Karrer also provides questions to spark discussion, but also encourages people to ask him questions too. It is a good resource for IDs.

2. E Learn Blog - http://blog.acm.org/elearn/
The eLearn blog is part of the eLearn Magazine. This online magazine's motto is "Education and Technology in Perspective." This site not only has useful blog discussions but also provides ideas for "Best Practices" for online learning and training, "Case Studies", tutorials, reviews and research papers. This is a one stop site to help any ID to get valuable resources and participate in some current topics through the blog.

3. The Social Enterprise Blog - http://dwilkinsnh.wordpress.com/
This blog is geared for IDs. It provides case studies, podcasts, webinars, papers and magazine articles all at helping and ID. The current post is about how the authors of the blog created a Social Learning Strategy Checklist. It is a new ID rubric that accounts for emergent, collaborative and codified learning. Looking through the other posts, this site has some good resources to either use or adapt to projects we may have as an ID.

4. Mr. Coley's Wesite - http://www.mrcoley.com/index.htm
For the educators out there, this is a very cool website from a 5th grade teacher in Southern California. This site shows how the entire class is involved in active learning in the class and online. It includes podcasts and many resources for students, parents and other teachers. The time and effort put into this site is more than obvious, it is impressive!
