'So how big is the ELT blogosphere? Well, a quick google of "ELT blog" returns over 800,000 results ...

We can obviously only list a few, but here (in no particular order) are some blogs, wikis and podcast pointers we have come across during our own trawl through the blogosphere, which may be of interest to you:

1.  Loadsalinks! Mr Stout's Blog, written by a teacher in Japan, has loads of nice video clips for students and links out to other useful language learning sites, blogs and podcasts.

2.  Teaching an FCE class? Check out this great blog by an Argentinian teacher, Claudia Ceraso.  

3.  Interested in making your own animated movies with your classes, or ways of exploiting YouTube (amongst lots of other nice techie tips)? Check out Nik Peachey's blog.

4.  How about getting your learners to set a class blog or even their own blogs?

5.  What is blogging? Some thought-provoking reflections from an existing ELT blogger.  

6.  Now this is intriguing. A daily video podcast (or Vodcast) produced by a teacher from New Zealand, working in Japan.

7.  Want some ideas/tips/pointers on doing your own podcasting? Try the ELT Podcasting wiki or Englishcaster.

8.  And finally, if you haven't done so already, check out our own blogroll on the left of this page!'

What are you favourite blogs and how do you use them?
