English Companion Ning's Re-readings Group
This social network, set up by Jim Burke, brings thousands of English teachers together from around the world. You'll find many groups to talk with and resources abound. The link above brings you directly to the Re-readings group I set up recently to accompany this work.

Tomliamlynch.org: New Literacies, adolescent literacy, and literature
This is my own blog, which I use to track what's going on in education. My own interests tend towards the tension between new literacies and the teaching of literature.
