This is a follow-up to my previous e-mail regarding technology blogs
with a focus on education.  I hit the send button too quickly (which is
an ironic action indicative of some of the anti-technology stances I
hold.  But here are the links I had planned to include from my blog
www.inthetext.com , now in operation for about a year.

I find the Literacy Tech blog good for what's happening/what's new.

 Hi, Everybody,
 
I was wondering if people had suggestions of blogs that are particularly
good for ESL teachers and others that might relate ESL to technology.
 
One blog that I particularly like, even though it's not directly
connected to ESL, is the Web Savvy Educator
(http://www.techsavvyed.net/) .  I've found a number of useful posts in
it.
