Summary of Blog Sites

The first site provides you with insight from the professionals in the field across the country. It provides comments on resources and ideas to assist you in various areas within Instructional Design. It is good to have resources to refresh or awaken a new thought within you. The posts on these sites are very interesting and will help in the view points of others in the field and enable you to see the ideas of others. You may not agree with everything but that can still provide growth. http://www.iddblog.org/ As an Instructional Designer our minds must be toned to new ideas and be able to dream of new ways to keep the attention of the learner. In this fast pace world full of technology and information at every turn, the job of the Instructional Designer became harder. Our eyes send so much information to the brain that we are easily bored. In Cathy Moore’s blog, design takes on a new meaning. Noted that these are views, everyone can see the same picture yet walk away with a different view of the picture. That’s what I see on this site; see design in a different light. Everyone can get into dry place, where the thoughts are not coming as fast as we would like them. Sites like this one could help you awaken something new simply by seeing someone do something out of the ordinary. http://blog.cathy-moore.com/ There is a wealth of information on the internet; however some of them hold your attention better than other. The following site brought something to right to your face. http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/what-everybody-ought-to-know-about-instructional-design/ Did you know that we see everything before our eyes and yet we do not acknowledge some things at all? How often have you said to yourself or someone else that you did see what was right before you. This site demonstrated that we see what we are searching and often miss what is before our eyes. This type of information helps our creativity. As Instructional Designers we need to be productive for their clients as well as themselves. The video on this site show us how easily we can miss what is right before us. The above sites all offer something different; yet can be very helpful to the designer. This enter action would help a great deal for individual that work out of their homes and newcomers looking for help.
