I like to start the new year by renewing my memberships in specific organizations. Specifically, this year, I'll be renewing memberships with the MLA and the NCTE. For non-English folk, here are some other organizations and resources that you might check out for development opportunities.
The Sloan Consortium: This group offers lots of great workshops and webinars if you want to get started without laying out cash for a membership. There are more opportunities for members, though.
ASCD: This group is not just for online educators, but it is useful for those folks who are interested in curriculum and assessment.
Turnitin Academy: If you have a Turnitin.com account, they have lots of webinars and training opportunities to show how this is not just about catching plagiarism. Turnitin can be a great teaching tool if you know how to use it! You can view archived webinars, but why not attend an upcoming one live?
