Why teaching? And some blog links.

Hi, I am Steph.
I would like to be a teacher because I have a passion for students, learning, and EspaƱol. In school, I didn't always have the most effective teachers. I think that those Middle School and High School years play a huge role in a student's search for identity and their future. I want to help grow in students a love for learning, language, and for truth. I hope to teach Spanish, ESL, and Biblical Studies (if I teach in a Christian School) at the Secondary Level in a way that is convenient and fun.

This blog is for those who are teaching and learning Spanish. On this blog there are many free or reduced cost resources for Spanish teachers and learners alike. There are videos, magazines, subscriptions to receive free bilingual books, and many other resources.

I came across this blog which seems to share some interesting information. I did, however, come across this page which might be a little unprofessional. I don't know if I would want one of my superiors coming across a blog post like this by accident.

This is different than the other two blogs I chose because it has many different teachers posting articles about their areas of studies and their expertise. It is also because it is a site for ESL teachers. I think I could learn a lot from spending some time on this site!
