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.

National Reading Conference - J. Michael Parker Award

The National Reading Conference awards the J. Michael Parker Award to encourage 
research in adult literacy. The award is given to graduate students and 
untenured professors who present research on adult learning or education at the 
annual conference. Recipients of the award will receive $300 towards their 
conference expenses and will be recognized during a general session of the 
conference. The award was established in 2001 in honor of J. Michael Parker, 
winner of National Reading Conference’s Student Research Award. 

The call for papers is available online now at www.nrconline.org. When 
submitting your proposal please indicate that you will be applying for the J. 
Michael Parker Award (noted at the bottom of the personal information page). 
Applicants will be required to submit the full paper (25 pages or less) 
electronically by October 1st, 2007.  Committee members will rate the 
submissions on the following criteria: 

1.  The research is capable of making a significant contribution to theory 
and/or practice of adult learning and instruction.
 
2.  The methodology is appropriate to the research question and of sufficient 
rigor. 

3.  Implications of the research are of a scope needed to impact the field. 

I encourage you to apply to the conference and for the award. If you have any

Thank you.
