Teacher Resources

My recent posts have been a bit to philosophical and a bit too deep for me. I felt the need to get back to the basics and post something that can directly benefit teachers. Here are just a handful of resources that I have picked up and used as well as passed on to my colleagues and want to share to my PLN as well. Please read, comment, add your own, and share!
