This are just a few of the hundreds of sites out there. Note that sites may disappear quickly, since they depend on a 'host' to keep them viable. Please comment on the value of the site if you visit it. By the way, these are 'hot' links, which will allow you to access them simply by clicking on the address.

Thank you!

I enjoyed sharing the future of ESL technology with your class. I hope that you will use this blog to get acquainted with the concept, as well as share your ideas, questions and great website finds with the rest of the group. Let me know if there is anything I can do to facilitate the process. As soon as I get the list of email addresses, I will send out invitations to join this blog. Until that time, you can still post using the 'comments' button at the bottom of this post.
