An awsome post by Merrolee Penman about using blogs as a professional learning tool http://www.hinz.org.nz/journal/2008/06/-The-use-of-blogging-to-support-professional-learning/992

How cool to find something SO relevant to this course and so close to home!!! Merrolee is an academic leader in Occupational Therapy at the Otago Polytechnic. Her articles are used to inform OT students and practitioners, alike. My opinion on the site: VERY valuable. Especially because it helps me to clarify my own wavering perspectives on the using digital technology in OT practice.
