Free Tech for Teachers is the best blog that I have come across and I check it daily. Richard is a social studies teacher from Maine who shares all his internet finds and resources with others. The best thing about this blog is the "Applications for Education", where he gives suggestions on how to use each resource. The "Top Posts" seach engine is also very useful.
