Evaluating and Identifying Online Resources



This resource is written by Marilee Sprenger, who refers to herself as the “BrainLady.” She writes a few articles regarding steps for brain-friendly teaching. The article is especially interesting to me being new to the field as it gives me insight to teaching using the steps she outlines in her articles. While she follows the steps as she is teaching in a classroom, they are principles that you can also apply and use when designing new instructional material.


This is a website often provided as a resource in my previous classes here at Walden. The article based on the link above is Learning and Memory.  It discusses sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory and also includes some graphics to go along with the article. Each section gives just a high level of information regarding each category. It does a good job providing basic information which gives me a foundation as I learn more detailed information through other resources, including our course text.  The website also has plenty of other articles to review in the subject of Instructional Design.
