WELCOME

Thank you for visiting. I hope you come often and leave comments. As a technology trainer for all ages (elementary, secondary and adults) I come across information that amaze and saddens me. I plan to share this informatin with you. This is a learning experience so the stories are real, the names and sometimes places may be changed. Some stories should make you laugh, some may make you cry but they all present learning opportunities.

RECOMMENDED BLOG SITES

Blogs enable me to investigate, create and publish content that I think is important. To extend my blog so that I incorporate more information, I am always searching for varied, reliable content on the web. Varied content enables me to receive information from a variety of disconnected sources so I can weigh the content and form my own opinion. Reliable content ensures that I am using reputable professionals with knowledge and expertise in their chosen area. The goal is to find and link or post the best information possible.

The three blogs listed below contain great information no teaching, learning, e-learning and instructional design. All three contain articles written by the blogger as well as links to other published articles. The blog pages are well organized and information is easy to find. These sites allow me to subscribe and comment on the blogger content. The first blog site is by Ferdinand Krauss. It provides a host of methods on how to teach in an e-learning environment. Approaches and examples make it a useful resources. The second blog s by Amit Garg. It is a reference guide for instructional designers. It contains a list of articles and blogs that must be read. This sit is fluid and keeps me up to date on the things I should know about. The third and final blog is by Bill Ferriter. His article on blogging and wikis was part of our resource list this week. I was introduced to Mr. Ferriter a year ago and was immediately impressed with the voice he provides in the area of technology infusion. He was added to my list because I want to hear what he has to sat and I want to introduce him to others!

  1. The link to your second site seems to be broken or disabled? Is there another link in?

  2. Hi Nash,
    I am in your ID class and found a great blog site that I wanted to share with you. It’s The eLearning Coach. The web address is http://theelearningcoach.com/ This blog has information about design, elearning 2.0, cognition, and book, hardware, and software reviews. It even has an article, in the cognition section that ties in with this week’s assignment. The article is 20 Facts You Must Know About Working Memory. The article discusses basic information about memory, the capacity and duration of working memory, how working memory interacts with long-term memory, individual differences in working memory, and cognitive load. Check it out.
