To begin my Personal Learning Network (PLN), I subscribed to five (5) blogs that relate to English/English Teaching/Technology.The first is the HuffEnglish.com website which deals with issues, ideas, and various discussions happening specifically in English Education and Technology.
Next, I chose a blog that is updated by an English teacher whose focus is on teaching Shakespeare at a high school level. It the Shakespeare Teacher blog. There are definitions of hard words/concepts, games, and riddles regularly posted.
Third, I saw this next blog on a few of my classmates' PLN and it's a really great resource: the Six Children Authors/Teachers blog. Their perspective on Youth Literature will be invaluable to consult when choosing what novels are best for my future classrooms.
Fourth, The Cool Cat Teacher Blog, is all about teaching content with the new tools available to teachers. I love that the perspective of this blog is that teaching is a "noble calling".
The last blog I'm following, Powell's Books-Review-a-Day, as it was recommended by my respected colleague katie hatch. This site is important to me as I need to stay up-to-date with the best books on the market. These reviews will help me to know what is worth the time to read/recommend to others in my class and life in general.
