Week 3 Reflection: doug – off the record
It was refreshing to read through some of Doug Peterson’s blog posts and see an edublogger who was more concerned with individual thought than flashy networking and resource flooding. The most noticeably different thing about his blog was the straightforward presentation style. The primary purpose of the site was very clear; a place for Mr. Peterson to share his thoughts. All the outside links were very well done, which taught me that not all social media needs to be front and center to be effective. His Twitter feed was a good accent to the blog roll centerpiece of the web page. I was surprised at the neatness of the page, considering the amount of content that was being displayed. My greatest discovery while browsing this blog was the capabilities of certain blog pages for a sidebar; there was a plethora of information and resources helpful for Doug and viewers to navigate his blog and get more involved.
