Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 9/16/11

(Today marks the day this blog is 4 years old!! I would never have dreamed that I would enjoy having one this long! It truly is a labor of love and I truly love it! Thanks to all my readers who inspire and motivate me to continue doing this.)

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN.

I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!
