Instructional Technology & Blogs

I believe that there are several ways for leaders in instructional technology to use blogs. One way is to use the blog to put your thoughts and ideas about instructional technology out there for people to read and comment on (hopefully). Another is using it in a class setting and having students explore using this technology on their own. The best way to know about a technology is to use it. I believe that this is one reason why Dr. Luck gave us this assignment. I also think that instructional technology leaders could use blogs as portals to exploring other technology on the web by either assigning a project or projects (as Dr. Luck has done) or by exploring the technology themselves and placing/discussing it on their blog for others to be able to learn about it.
