Educators' Learning Source

There are thousands of books on education ranging from inspirational to depressing to just plain bad. We have selected just a few that we feel are outstanding and can contribute to your professional growth process.

For some, books are passé, new media is king. If you want to explore alternative sources of ideas, inspiration, or inquiry, check out our "new media" suggestions. The selection ranges from free podcasts that give your academic spirit a boost to online video tutorials that show you how to use some of the technology that you may have heard about to feature length documentaries that explore facets of education from a certain perspective.

While we are glad you found us and want you to use this site as your learning source, we are certainly not the only fish in the sea. There are hundreds of websites and weblogs devoted to education. We point you to a few that extend the discussion on being better teachers and leaders.

While researching ideas on the web and reading about different approaches to teaching on your own does have merit, there is nothing like getting out there and meeting, networking, with likeminded educators. We offer a sampling of noteworthing conferences, workshops and seminars that are available both virtually (online) and physically (in the real world).

Who are we? What is the purpose of this site? Are we part of some liberal movement to radically change the educational system? Are we a right-wing organization promoting the privatization of our kids' education? And how can you get a hold of us to tell us what a fine job we are doing?
