Week One Application
This week's application assignment has been pretty fun, I am going to enjoy doing this blog. This week's assignment was to create a blog and find other blogs that relate to course design and technology. The three that are listed below all seem to have some great resources and ideas that we should be able to use throughout our course. The three that I found were simply by doing a search on Google.
The first blog I found belongs to Patty Papers. She is a math teacher who has taught at all junior high and high school math levels. Her blog focuses on integrating interactive technology in the classroom. She has won several awards to help expand the ways that students use interactive technology in the classroom. Her site can be found at: http://pattyoflynn.edublogs.org . One interesting page you should look at when you click on this link is her page on a sustainable classroom in which she blogs about “mathcasts” which uses screen recording software to create movies.
Another great blog that I found on the Adobe website belongs to Rufus Deucheler. In his own words found on http://www.youtube.com/rufusdeuchler Rufus Deucheler states:I am a Worldwide Evangelist for Creative Solutions at Adobe Systems. A graduate of the Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Communication Design, I have been active as a corporate and editorial designer across Europe since 1992, and have been teaching graphic design since 1995. Now, I travel the globe sharing my love for Adobe software and showing users how to best use it in their workflows.
His blog can be found at http://blogs.adobe.com/rufus/ . I thought that this would be a great resource for all of us just learning how to use the Adobe products that we need to use for class.
This next blog is interesting because it lists all of the current news on technology. As an instructional designer it is always going to be important to stay up-to-date on information dealing with new technologies. Every time a new technology comes out, there will be a need for someone to be the expert in that technology in order to design courses and teach others. You can go to http://glanceworld.com and see the technology news and new releases, as well as information about web design and web development. It seems like this blog stays current so I think it will be a good resource to use throughout this course.I have asked permission from the three blogs that I have listed above to link to their sites. If one of these sites is yours and you would like me to remove your information, please email me and I will remove you.

The Adobe website has wonderful tutorials. It's nice to know that some of them are on Video.
This is a cool website.

Hello Serena,
Thanks for the glanceworld.com recommendation! I have bookmarked it on "delicious" so that I will remember to check back for updates.
