I found a .ning site designed for helping English educators connect with each other. It's titled English Ideas: The English Teacher's Network. Its URL is http://englishideas.ning.comhttp://englishideas.ning.com.
I would mainly use this site for grabbing lesson plan ideas. I will be teaching ESL, so the lessons would have to be modified, but the site could provide good jumping-off points. In addition, I might use this site to post open questions or concerns, or to establish collaborative relationships with other English/ESL teachers. One thing that is missing that might make this site more helpful is an .rss feed option.
Here's a link to a post about creating rss feeds for sites that don't have any.
