Tutorial Seven - Linking of blogs of interest and exchanging comments.

So my task for this post is to find 5 blogs that relate to OT practice.  As well as listing them below, I have also added links onto my blog template (on the right hand side) for easy access :)

This blog is written by an OT that is interested in how technology can be used in the health setting and in OT practice to improve involvement in occupation...quite a perfect find for this blog that I am writing about!.

This one is not a specific blog but a really interesting website that contains multiple blogs posted by OTs.  The aim of the site Meta OT is to "aid the knowledge base of Working, Student & Research Occupational Therapists by highlighting current research, technologies and opinion pieces. As well as community driven blogs the site hosts several tools that are you are free to use and actively encouraged to help produce" (MetaOT, 2009, para. 1).  An example of a blog on this site is note writing for OTs specifically SOAP notes.


This blog is about an OT and offers a good perspective on her life and insights on what it is to be an occupational therapist.  I imagine this will be a good blog to visit to get an idea of how it is to be an OT in general.  The clip from her blog below for example is a list of the types of questions she would be asking when she is looking for a new role:

Advance outlook: OT is an interesting blog site that provides the latest from the field of occupational therapy, and about issues in the field. It has an interesting and news-based approach that provides a great source of information and opinion about current issues.

This blog  by a fellow student, Cara Tate is also about occupational therapy and technology.  It is interesting how whilst both of us have answered exactly the same questions we have such different content in our blogs.  I placed a comment on Cara's blog about how interesting I found the information she had provided about assistive technology and how useful Youtube is for giving us visual information and I received a comment back:
