The three instructional design blog and resources websites that I
have decided to critique are teachersfirst.com, wordpress.com, and Edublog.org.
Teachersfirst.com website is a resource website mainly for teachers to precede
research on different subject areas and grade levels. It also provides
different feedback and blogs on other blog sites and the use of different
projects and systems. According to the website it states that it's "teachersFirst is a free,
advertising-free teacher resource web site offered as a services to teachers by
The Source for Learning, a non-profit learning and technologies
corporation. TeachersFirst
is a free resource that was started by an extraordinary collection of
individuals with an unlikely opportunity to share their good fortune".
Teachersfirst.com website is an excellent web page for teachers, parents and
students who are extremely busy or just browsing for some new
information.
Wordpress.com is basically a very
user friendly blog system but it can be used as a regular site which you can
update without any knowledge of html. On this site you can create pages and
posts, and with plugins, you can add a lot of functionality. WordPress has no
multi-lingual capability but this can be managed with a plug-in, which is
quite easy to use. WordPress can handle tons of visitors. Importing posts
and pages from other blog sites is easy as well. WordPress is simple, you can
see it as a blog or as a regular website. It has fixed pages, posts and
categories.
Blogger.com is the website that I have chosen to use. To me
blogger.com is one of the most popular blog systems. Blogger.com is
completely free to users. All of the features and services available through
Blogger.com are offered free-of-charge to all users which are one of the
benefits of using blogger.com. A key advantage in choosing Blogger.com as your
blogging software is its versatility. Bloggers are not limited in the amount of
traffic or storage space their blogs generate and use, and bloggers can create
as many blogs as they want. Bloggers who use Blogger.com also have the ability
to manipulate the templates available to them in order to create more unique
blog themes.
Each of these blog and resource sites are very
beneficial to me but because of me being an actual first time user of any
blogs, blogger.com seems to be the best for me. It’s very easy to access and to
create and post a blog and the website also provides a lot of feedback.
