Blog and Podcast Subscriptions

Here are three blogs that I have subscribed to:
Two Writing Teachers: http://twowritingteachers.wordpress.com/
Rachel's Children's Literature Blog:
http://rachellyash.blogspot.com/
ESL Teaching Ideas:http://eslteachingideas.blogspot.com/

They all have to do with teaching. Specifically writing, children's literature, and ESL ideas, respectively.

On the right side of the page, you will see an easy link list to these blogs. Maybe the list will grow someday.


Here are three podcasts that I have subscribed to
:
New Teacher Hotline:
http://www.newteacherhotline.com/shows/new-teacher-hotline/feed
-Veteran teachers providing advice for new teachers as they begin the very difficult job of teaching.

eElementary: http://www.eelementary.com/eElementary_feed.xml
-Tips for the elementary teacher trying to integrate technology. They review links, free downloads, and copyright information in weekly

ESL Teacher Talk: http://feeds.feedburner.com/EslTeacherTalk
-Free broadcasts for ESL teachers on topics such as classroom management, lesson planning advice, job search tips and more. Each broadcast contains a feature game or activity that can be usee in lessons with supporting downloads, materials and videos. eslTeacherTalk.com is hosted by 2 veteran ESL teachers with almost 15 years of ESL teaching experience.

While the first one is sort of generic teaching advice and the second is about technology, I chose the third one because my emphasis is in English as a Second Language. I've helped out in an ESL classroom a lot and am always looking for more ideas on how to help those students.

As I was reading more into blogs, I found this video. I thought it was entertaining, even if slightly tedious.
