Have you heard of the Edublogs Awards? They were started to demonstrate that social media can have an educational effect. I hadn't heard of them but saw a tweet from Sean at Speech Techie and headed over to their website to check them out. If you have a blog or website, you can nominate your favorite blogs/websites by clicking here.
Best individual blog: http://thethriftyslp.blogspot.com/ She has some great activity ideas, lots of free materials and some great free downloads related to cuing levels, treatment strategies and common core information.

Most influential blog post of the year: http://speechadventures.com/2013/05/31/adventures-in-humility/ I might just have a personal problem with this but this post about how you think you are "faking it" or might let people down because you are not what you appear to be really spoke to me.
