Best individual blog

Scott Thornbury’s An A-Z in ELT   for the quality of his posts and the great discussions and comments he generates. Every post is an absolute must-read.

This has to be www.eltchat.org  It’s a blog maintained by its moderators but the content is co-created through the conversations of dozens of twitter teachers which are then
written up into summaries by a wonderful collection of ELT bloggers!!

Nik’s Learning Technology Blog  because he always shares new technology tools but he includes highly reflective posts and discusses and evaluates them; combines technology with sound pedagogy

#ELTchat because it connects hundreds of ELT teachers every week on Twitter and keeps contributing to their development in a free and autonomous way; because it has created a PLN which is supportive and shares knowledge in a connected world. 

Best New Blogblog

Carol Goodey’s New Blog because it’s the blog of a reflective teacher

Best teacher blogblog

Box of Chocolates –
Cecilia Lemos’ blog; because she reflects so well on her teaching and uses
her blog to become an outstanding teacher.

At the time of writing this post, I am finding great value in curation tools; my favourite this year is Pinterest. 

Best open PD / unconference / webinar series

BESIG online webinars  

Best educational use of a social network/blog

The aPLaNet Project Ning  because it provides a meeting
point for teacher who mentor other teachers in the use of social networking tools for education.

Lifetime Achievementblog

Graham Davies – who recently left us. He left so much behind which is still of
great value to all teachers who want to learn about ICT both through his
blog as well as his website and groups he created around his diverse
interests.
