Online and Blended Teachers

This is k12 virtual online school's blog. This is their description of how they use their blog: "The blog is our place to comment on key issues as they're happening--new legislation, new studies, new schools, and anything else that's impacting online and blended learning."

From our very own Barbara Schroeder! She discusses the possibility of using Google + to replace her current, tired LMS

This is a great website for online and blended learning done by Tom Vander Ark
