After browsing the internet and finding several blogs relating to instructional design, I finally narrowed it down to the three blogs that I believe will be the most useful to me in the instructional design field.
The first site is that of the Instructional Design and Development blog belonging to DePaul University. This blog is focused on providing information on using technology to enhance instruction and it is operated by the staff of DePaul’s Instructional Design and Development department. I believe this site will serve as good resource for me because it will offer insight on how I can be more technology driven with the training and instruction sessions I will be giving in the future. Also the DePaul staff that contributes to this site vary in age, backgrounds, and professions within the ID field and I believe that will give a great mix to the information that will be posted from their end. This blog can be reached via the following URL: http://www.iddblog.org/.
The second site is Instructional Design Central (http://www.instructionaldesigncentral.com/). I believe this site will be a great resource because it seems to offer a little bit of everything relating to the instructional design field from the different relevant jobs and available degrees to upcoming informational conferences and active forums/blogs
(http://www.instructionaldesigncentral.com/htm/IDC_instructionaldesignforums.htm) its purpose is for both the student and the professional in this field; therefore, I believe it will provide an excellent chance to get and provide feedback/information from all educated levels.
The last blog I chose, is that of Tier1 Performance Solutions. Tier1 Performance Solutions is a company that, overall, specializes in training for better performance. They do this by using Performance 1, a software package that allows them to provide training development, web-based learning, application development, communications, content management, knowledge management, change management, web portals, and instructor-led delivery to their clients. Their blog serves as place where topics/ideas relating to their expertise are shared. I believe this blog to be beneficial because a lot of the services that they offer are relevant to some of the job duties I am and will soon be responsible for. The blog for Tier1 can be reached via the following URL: http://tier1.wordpress.com/.
Again, I personally found these three blogs to be resourceful. However, by all means if time allows you, please feel free to check them out as well.
