Web sites

What websites do you go to for resources/information on teaching (Pianoforum excluded)?

I'll start with a couple of my favorites:

www.pedaplus.com  - I like his teaching resources - flashcard games and whatnot.  There's also a pedagogy forum there, but it can be a lot slower as far as responses go. 

www.practicespot.com  - I enjoy the articles on here especially.  It's easy to read, and he has some different ways of approaching things.  There are also other resources on this page.

What else?
When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
