This remarkable concordancer has many quick and easy features, such as seeing visually with a graph the frequency of occurrences of a word, quick links to the word embedded in a concordance, a thesaurus of alternative vocabulary, and indications of "good" and "bad" uses of a word. Stannard doesn't talk much about the pedagogy of the tool, but it is well worth exploring, esp. with your more advanced students. The training tool gives you an idea of how a concordancer is used. JtW works with Wordle.

A video on how to use Keek to make and share short video messages. Although limited to only 36 secs, this might be a good application for beginning learners, or for a quick pronunciation quiz (you will see who is taking that quiz!) You can also embed a finished recording in your blog or wiki, as well as sending it by email. A good way to have students create a short, practiced conversation. Also has smartphone apps for mobile recordings, RSS feed to follow, and links to Facebook, Yahoo, and Twitter.

Very short videos--36 sec--may be good for low level students to practice initial speaking/listening. Also has apps for various smart phones. Might be good for a quite pronunciation quiz, for example. The teacher can then send back a short video message with corrections, modeling, etc.

A nice set of short instructional videos by R. Stannard on how to set up a Moodle course, add materials, and manage the learning environment for your students. Looks carefully at some of the problematic areas of Moodle. This set of videos looks at Moodle set up on your own school's Moodle; however, much of what is done will apply to one of the free Moodles online.

Lots of documentaries on an enormous variety of subjects. These can be used to spark conversation and get students ready to do their own research for a paper. Professionally produced, and free. Many are award-winning. Categories are listed, and there is a search function. Not specifically directed to ESL/EFL, but good authentic content.

"How I use Twitter, search, Diigo Delicious, DEVONthink, Scrivener to find, refine, organize information -->knowledge" A nice illustration in a Screenr screencast of how a Stanford professor uses various online tools to organize Internet information. Focuses on vertical (deep) learning, rather than horizontal (social) learning. Created for his students to demonstrate how to organize Internet resources efficiently.

Put in lists of words and Website creates sound files for them. You can also put in a description or translation of your words to practice them. Also creates tests on them. Uses several major languages. I'd suggest that students are getting lots of repetition just listing words and defining them.
