Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Thanks for this bit of information. Honestly, I'm doing a research study on teachers behavior and what's going on inside classrooms and such.
This is the first time I've heard of Brain Nook, so I might try to look at that later. :-)
