I found blogging a little strange at first since this is all new to me. I felt at ease in writing it but also isolated. I had a peer who would comment on my thoughts but who else would ever see it. I tried to blog about course material but I often found myself drifting to life experiences in training, DE and teaching.
I enjoyed reading Robin's blog. I also read my other classmate's blog. Reading those blogs allow me to see what my peers were thinking about the course material. I applaud those who have years of experience in the DE world and or the ISD world. I was like a sponge soaking up what I read.
Often time my Pedagogy experience kicked as I try to relate what I taught, in 1994-1999 in the US Army, to today's transmission models. I must say those experiences are outdated but they gave me a great foundation in DE. Most of the technology did not exist or was not fully developed 10-15 years ago. There were no PDAs and most folks did not understand synchronous and asynchronous distant learning online. I actually love the asynchronous format.
