CS1 RSS Feeds

I used to always look at those little RSS symbols and imagine the day that I would be cool enough to actually use them.  And by cool I mean actively and purposefully organized.  Thank you ETC for forcing this issue because, honestly, I might have stayed lazy forever.  Now look at me go!


I tried to pick feeds that would teach and inspire me in instructional design, e-learning, technology, and education as a whole.

1) EMDTMS (http://www.fsoblogs.com/emdtms)
This first one is a no brainer.  Following Full Sail's Education Media Design & Technology blog is sure to help me with this program and in my career.

2) Free Technology for Teachers (http://www.freetech4teachers.com/)
This seems like such a great site.  I feel like the posts here are going to teach me and inspire me.  Looking forward to it.

3) The Education Technology Blog (http://educationtechnologyblog.com)
Another interesting and robust blog on technology useful for education.  It's important to stay informed!

4) Making Change, Ideas for lively e-learning (http://blog.cathy-moore.com/)
This looks like an excellent blog for me.  It focuses on new ideas and resources for improving adult e-learning.  This is exactly what I need for my current job.

5) Wired Top Stories (http://www.wired.com/)
Wired magazine holds a special place in my heart.  The best research paper I ever wrote was inspired by an article I read in Wired.  Since then, I always like to periodically check their website.  It keeps me up to date on science and technology and provides a continuous source of inspiration.  Even though it is not directly related to my career I think it is so important to keep close those things that can ignite your creativity, passion, and motivation.  This site does that for me.  If science, technology, and entertainment are your bag, I whole-heartedly recommend it.

  1. Kimber, I totally agree with your comment under your Wired link: "..I think it is so important to keep close those things that can ignite your creativity, passion, and motivation." Wired is one that I follow on Facebook. Because of my interests in gamification, there are a whole number of great technology sites like this that keep me well informed and my knowledge of things well rounded.
