What Are Your Favorite Faculty Development Blogs?

I’ve recently taken on a new role in Faculty Development, which in my case means that I primarily help professors who want to improve their teaching. I’m really enjoying it but there is a learning curve that I’m still scaling. One of the coping mechanisms I have found effective in the past is to become an active part of the community, and this has been no different. I attended my first POD conference (the annual conference of the national organization for faculty developers) and extended my network of fellow faculty developers and instructional designers on Twitter.

But what I do best to cope is to blog. I was familiar with the conventions and conversations of those who blog about teaching in academia, but what were those same conventions and conversations within the faculty development blogosphere? I knew that a lot of Teaching and Learning Centers have their own blogs for teaching tips and best practices, but I was particularly interested in the blogs by individual faculty developers that are about being a faculty developer.
