Identifying Teaching Resources

One of the biggest challenges with "self-improvement" is knowing where to find good information.  It can be a challenge identifying and understanding the resources that are available to help us. In this last activity I would like you to help me, and your peers, by generating a list of resources that we can use to keep current as educators and, more specifically, as CS educators. 

Activity

Identify at least three different organizations that provide information and/or resources regarding general pedagogical practice of teachers.  [Please note, this is about teaching in general. Not necessarily teaching CS. That's activity #2].

To get started, think about organizations you already follow.  These may be national, state, or regional.  They may be entirely online organizations, groups that hold traditional face to face meetings, publishers of resources, and even well informed bloggers who back ideas/opinion with facts/research.

But you also might look to find at least one organization/resource that is new to you.  One that you think will provide you some real benefit in the future.

For each resource you identify clearly indicate:

• The name
• "Contact" information (likely a URL but not necessarily)
• What kind of information they provide to teachers
• Ideally, at least one idea from the resource that use regularly or that particularly resonates with you.

The goal here is to draft a resource guide curated by the class members.  The summary that you produce should be something that one of your classmates or I could read and understand why me might want to care about this organization/resource.
