This is a website that has tons of blogs from teachers all across the country. The website tries to connect teachers and share educational ideas, concepts, and meaningful topics.
Classroom201X is a blog that has amazing resources for smartboards. So often smart boards go to waste because teachers don't know how to use them or don't know what to use them for. This blog is a great resource.
We have been discussing ESL classes and how teachers are not prepared for classrooms with students who do not speak any english. This blog gives advice and helpful resources for teachers.
This is a blog that gives new updates in grammar, defining rhetorical devices, dictionaries and the like. It's a good place to look if you have a random question about grammar or what is happening in the English language today.
This website is so cool...it's a website...just for teachers! In this section of the website, teachers blog about different topics in their classroom, and some of them are really informative. In addition, you can explore other aspects of the website to see what resources better fit your class.
This blog offers a variety of insights from the point of view of a current educator. I found her writing style to be entertaining yet at the same time intensely thought provoking. Her site also provides links to educational resources!

Since we are all in the early stages of developing our personal learning networks (PLN), I found this blog post to be a useful description of what a PLN should include and the purpose it can serve. Definitely some things to keep in mind as you continue to build your own personal learning network.

This is totally true! It's an entry in a blog that's actually really interesting, too. It's called The Literary Pursuit and it's about anything book/literature related. Check it out, too!
This blog gives educators 50 different ideas on using Twitter in the classroom. I thought it was extremely interesting, seeing as how students are more and more on twitter, they might be able to relate to an assignment better this way.
We've all heard of blogs, but this site has twisted blogs to make them a little more creative and fun and coined them glogs. They are basically kind of like an online bulletin board where you can upload videos, images, text, etc. It is a great alternative teaching method for teachers and can be a new way for kids to learn/post information, too.
This is a pretty opinionated blog that offers some interesting pieces on educational reform and innovative teaching practices, especially in regards to social media and 21st century technology.
This blog offers very insightful articles on how to improve traditional teaching methods of teaching English as a second language, and it explores language acquisition more in-depth as well. Many of these are incorporated into different strategic lesson plans.

This website has a blog (good for our personal learning networks!) news, research, information about funding, politics of education, educational research, and more. A solid resource for all of us future educators!
