A 'Duh' moment in the life of a teacher

In Larry Ferlazzo's blog, he recently blogged about a 'Duh' moment that he had about finding L2 videos for his content class.  I think that this post was insightful because we all have these moments, and its ok.   As teachers we shouldn't be afraid to blog about our experiences in the field, even the not so good ones.  We can all sympathize and learn from each other.  Its important to create a teacher community that is open and supportive.  If we just blog about positive experiences, than they lose meaning because these positive experiences most likely occurred after many failed attempts.  If we never experienced failure, than we wouldn't appreciate our successes.  I think that it takes a lot of courage to share these failed attempts with others and I want to commend Larry Ferlazzo for being so open about this experience because teacher, especially new teacher can appreciate this feeling.  The name of this post is:  Great Resources For English Language Learners In Content Classes and the link to this blog is below:
