For this blog post I visited The Journal of Educators Online at http://www.thejeo.com/index.html
The professional development article I read was Reflective Pedagogy: Making Meaning in Experiential Based Online Courses by Kathy L. Guthrie, Florida State University and Holly McCracken, University of Illinois at Springfield. In their article, the authors found that instructional approaches with increased integration of technological tools via the Internet (such as synchronous conferencing platforms, asynchronous discussion structures, social networking environments, video sharing websites, and so forth) in educational programming hold the potential to guide and encourage a diverse range of students as they make meaning from learning from their advantageous experiences. I found this article interesting because synchronous and asynchronous technologies were just covered in Chapter 12 Distance Education: Using Technology to Redefine the Classroom. After reading this article I would like to investigate how these technologies can be used for other applications in the Education field.
