On this blog I even found the video of “Blogs in Plain English” (Aiken, P.) that was listed in our week one assignments for Full Sail University. It showcases Web 2.0 tools like Twitter, Prezi, Google Reader and more.

Online Therapy Institute http://www.onlinetherapyinstituteblog.com/ this has to be my most exciting blog and following a close second is Instructional Design Fusions.
