Abstract

Thirteen years ago, the EdTech Blog was created as an informal learning space to promote a professional community of learners enrolled in a fully online graduate program. The blog was created to enable current and former EdTech students to discuss contemporary topics and issues related to the profession. This paper will provide: an overview of the literature on social spaces for informal learning; a brief history and description of the EdTech blog, its purpose and goals, and how it was implemented; and the results of phase one of a formative evaluation where students weighed in on the blog's goals and impact.
