I just wanted to post some interesting blogs about IDT that I have found while reading about the subject:

 IDOS: http://ome.ksu.edu/id/blog/
This is an interesting blog site for those of us who think gaming can be educational.

Instructional Design Blog: http://blogs.uit.tufts.edu/id/ 
This blog has a wide variety of resources, including links to EDUCAUSE Quarterly (which you can access directly by clicking on the this link)

Instructional Design and Educational Technology: http://www.wideopendoors.net/
This site is great for us graduate students. Starts with a nice definition of IDT and has many resources that academics can use (ie. links to APA styles and teaching theories).

InfoDesign: http://www.informationdesign.org/
This site is heavy on technology. It has good design resources for usability and accessibility for elearning content.

    These are all good sites; thanks for putting them up. I am sure I know “Richard” – the host of the ID & Ed-Tech blog. But his ed-tech blog won’t come up, so I can’t confirm his identity. He links to PIDT, which I attended last year. I’m curious.

    Speaking of using games in classrooms to improve the learning and teaching, there is an article about using the game Revolution in a social studies lesson (http://www2.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/project/meridian/win2007/game_ed/index.htm).

    Games will always attract a student’s attention and educators need to design the lesson well so that games don’t become a pure distraction.

    Thanks for the sites. I sifted through them and added most of them to my del.isio.us. My favorite was the educause…I found some interesting info and will spend more time researching it.

    I appreciate your sharing these sites. I used a few for our Induction paper and wish I had found some of the others then. I am glad I have them now.

    Hey! thanks for the links. There has been a lot of talk about how can we use video games for education. I personally am not into videl games, but I think the topic is so interesting because so many of my students are.
