Evaluating and Identifying Online Resources

It is impossible to think, at least for me, that while studying and attempting to master certain subject matter, that any one source will be the definitive collection of everything that you would need to ever know on that particular subject. Throughout this process of studying the foundations, philosophies, and theories of Instructional Design, I have searched for, read, and evaluated several resources that might prove beneficial for my goal of becoming an effective instructional designer. Such resources, like http://www.edpsycinteractive.org/topics/cogsys/infoproc.html , provide descriptive and thought provoking articles on various topics,with this specific link to the topic, The Information Processing Approach to Cognition . Then, I also found www.buzzle.com , a site that provides an enormous amount of thought provoking and intelligent topics and categories. While perusing the Education and Higher Learning Category on www.buzzle.com I found additional links to articles on the brain and learning, theories, and problem solving strategies.

Outside of the classroom setting, online resources, like those that I have mentioned, become so valuable to any learner, especially and instructional designer. The educational world is continually evolving, and resources are valuable tools to creating relevant and theoretically sound instructional materials.
