1. Christen’s Creations: My personal blog.  I enjoy knitting commission pieces and tailoring them to each individual for a perfect custom-fit!
2. Knitters for Knockers: This blog is updated each year for the Komen Race for breast cancer.  The blog members are from my knit group and the prizes are donated from local yarn shops.
3. Baaaaaaats! : My friend from the VCU knit group set up this blog.  Mainly a bunch of random topics that are loosely held together by knitting.
4. xie knits: Prime example of a great blog that is no longer updated.  I really enjoyed her posts and the pictures of the items she had knitted.  I wish she’d update it!
5. Sexy Knitters Club: I’m always trying to convince my husband that knitting isn’t just for old ladies.  While this site no longer updates on the blog platform, they are very active on Ravelry (aka Facebook for Knitters).

Professional Feeds

1. Exploratorium: Integrating multi-media into presentations is a great way to keep the kids attentive.  This website gives links to mulit-media concerning the sciences, mainly biology.
2. PlanetGreen.com: Giving back to the environment should be a topic on the forefront of current science curricula.  The videos, articles, and graphics on the website are a great idea for writing prompts in the science classroom.
3. iLearn Technology: Another website that integrates technology into the classroom.
4. Kevin Kelly: A conglomeration of videos, articles, and graphics that can be used as writing promts and discussion topics.  Though it does not seem to be updated anymore, there are enough posts to give a whole year’s worth of ideas.
5. inhabitat:  Like PlanetGreen.com, these environmental topics are great for preparing students for the upcoming lesson via writing prompts or discussion topics

Feeds from Classmates:

1. The Biology Corner: Lesson plans, worksheets, and other multimedia to assist the biology teacher.
