English Companion Ning

I know that our class has teachers or future teachers for all subjects and grade levels, but I wanted to share a site that is directed toward English Teachers, http://englishcompanion.ning.com/. A former classmate introduced me to the site and I have found it to be a great resource, although sometimes a little overwhelming. This is a community of more than 2200 (and growing daily) English teachers, professors and professionals - and novices. It is a wonderful resource for sharing ideas, gaining feedback and learning what works, what doesn't and what might. There are subgroups for literature circles, teaching writing, teaching grammar, and teaching with technology! Check it out, even if you aren't an English teacher, membership is free. The site was started by Jim Burke, well known educational author.
