Kim Oliver ESOL Web Links
Tech up your teaching! Every good teacher knows that the resources outside the classroom are as important as those inside for students to improve their mastery of the English language! The internet is now a gold mine of resources, but some are more helpful than others! So I have created a page with the best of the best web resources available for ESL teachers and students.
Nick Peachy

This guy is my absolute favorite. He is great at showing how to use a seemingly non-educational site for ESL purposes, complete with classroom activity ideas. He has three parts to his site: a daily English activity, a learning tech blog, and a quick shout tech news.
This is one of Nick Peachy's newest additions--it's a nice visual link to his favorite resources.
Larry Ferlazzo

A lot of his apps and links are more for secondary education, but there are a lot of great ideas for ESL.
Free Tech for Teachers

A blog with lots of great links to some of the newest technologies that can be applied to education.
