EDU 6115 1st Blog

This is my first Blog for EDU 6115 at Walden University. I haven't Blogged in years, so it's nice to be back out in the Blogosphere once more. The course I'm taking is based on Learning Theories and Instruction and this Blog will be devoted to doing work for this class.



I am working on my MS in Instructional Design.







Blog: Instructional Design for eLearning Approaches: http://ideas.blogs.com/









This Blog was good for some of its points on the difference in business learners and traditional learners. I feel that the information contained could help with some of the technical, shall we say, aspects of Instructional Design, at least for me. Also it speaks, with references, to the benefits of on-line learning, and as an on-line student this is something I always like to learn more about.

I liked the way that this Blog explained Blogs and their power. I think that while this is a great history lesson for all who might be interested in Blogging it also has the power to push one to use the power of the Blog to get their message out and to possibly meet like-minded individuals out in the Blogosphere. I feel that if nothing else this would be a positive, motivating Blog that might push me to write a Blog even if I didn't feel like it. I liked the way that each aspect of Blogging was laid out so as anyone could understand them.

I liked how this Blog discussed the principles of Design. I think that many of these can be translated into the area of Instructional Design. I like this site because it has so much on it. There are links to many places where the different aspects of Design as a theory are talked about. It also gives all the principles of Design, which I found interesting as well. I liked its lists on the keys to good design and many other of the informational lists that were available here.
