Yet another blog is born
Yes, that’s right, I’m starting another blog. You can find it at jasonrhode.edublogs.org. I have numerous other blogs already, such as my dissertation digest and my personal site. So, why another blog?
I’ve found each and every blog to serve a distinct purpose. I’ve been wanting a place where I can just ramble about anything related to education and technology while connecting with other educators on a more impersonal level. I’ve had an account over at Eduspaces for quite some time but with the recent instability of the ownership of that service, I wanted to move to another more stable host. I’ve linked this new blog with my Eduspaces blog so anything I post here will also make its way over there. However, I’m basically bidding a fond farewell to Eduspaces at this point.
Also, idolresources has evolved into basically a place to post resources and I don’t want to diminish the quality or purpose of this blog. For those who don’t want to sift through my informal ramblings, I’ll now keep those separate and over on my Edublog and keep idolresources purely links to resources related to Instructional Design for Online Learning (IDOL) and educational technology in general.
You can find my new blog over at jasonrhode.edublogs.org. This new one happens to be hosted on Edublogs and therefore is a bit restricted in terms of features but is completely free for me to operate. I’ll continue to post new resources I come across to idolresources as well as maintain my more polished professional academic site at http://www.niu.edu/~jrhode but am looking forward to using my new edublog for my very informal online journal of my scholarly activities.
