Week 2 Reachback (Assessment in E-Learning)

     The last couple of days I have been reading, posting, and replying to my classmate’s posts on our discussion board. I have been getting great insights related to blogging and it’s application as an assessment tool. I have really been reading and researching a lot on creating blogs.  I really want to have a user-friendly blog site. This would be great if I could implement it at my job. The biggest hurdle with this is the security concerns with my IT department. I will approach that bridge when I get to it, for right now I will continue going through the resources and ideas being provided by my classmates.

             I have been reviewing my classmate’s blogs. They have great layouts. They have given me the inspiration to continue to develop my site in order for it to be educational for me and a nice information resource for people who view it. I got some great incite from the article regarding reflection strategies. I don't have the capability or administrator privileges to create blogs at my job. (security concerns).  I use the good old pen and paper method. I utilize this in my leadership development workshops. Our reflection exercises are very powerful tools that helps my participants to look back on their experiences, write about them, and share them in small group.
