I wanted to call your attention to the POD Network's Google Custom Search Engine, accessed from the main page of the POD website (http://www.podnetwork.org/search.htm#faculty). It is a great way for educators to get good information on different topics that concern teaching and learning. The best part about the search engine is that it taps into faculty development centers from around the US and Canada. Indeed there are 718 Web sites in the search tool, covering all members of POD. Seventy of those Web sites are for GTA programs and can be searched as a sub-group on the results page (after doing an initial search, look at the top for GTA as well as for other specialized searches.)
So give it a try. Go the URL and type in search words such as "lecture" or "group discussion" or "cooperative learning" or "assessment" and you will find lots of quality information on those topics as well as others for which you are interested.
By the way, I highly recommend joining the POD Network or attending one of its conferences in your lifetime; it is worth it to hang out with those who have dedicated their day to developing the quality of teaching and learning at their respective campuses.
