Survey of Instructional Design Blogs

My background in Graphic Design and Education has led me to a Graduate program in Instructional Design and Technology. I am excited about using this blog to explore the field of Instructional Design. This medium allows for a wide variety of views on the subject. To start the blog I looked at more than twenty blogs pertaining to Instructional Design. The themes and content of these blogs varied greatly and I quickly got sucked in.

Blogs about: Instructional Design was a great resource with a large variety of subjects. For general but very good information I think this site is excellent.

The Learning Visions blog by Cammy Bean is really nice because I felt a more personal connection with her and the ideas she was sharing. The information seems focused on the development of Instructional Designers. There as an extensive amount of information and it is well organized. This is an informative site that I will be following now and in the future.

The Sailing By Sound Blog by Dennis Coxe was my favorite. I during my initial exploration of Instructional Design blogs I spent more time here than any other. I found the subject very forward thinking and innovative. Focused on elearning and education, the blog also provides links to good sites related to learning theories and brain based methods. I was interested in the blogs concerning learning and text messaging. I thought about the students at my school and how so many of them have cell phones. If only we could use them for good and not evil in a middle school setting.

It will be interesting to see how my opinon of these site change as I learn more about the ID field.
