My first recommendation is that you read what Sue Waters has written about PLNs. Sue isnt an ESL/EFL/ELL teacher, but she provides an essential step-by-step guide for how any educator can get started. One of my favorites is EFL Classroom 2.0. Begun by David Deubelbeiss, its an extraordinary collection of every imaginable ESL/EFL resource, and helps connect teachers from all over the world. Learning With Computers is an exceptional group of ESL/EFL teachers from around the world that was begun by Gladys Baya. Its part of Webheads In Action, which has helped start several similar collaborations. Learning With Computers has a very helpful Wiki and an equally helpful, and active, listserv. Another great Webheads group and listserv is called evonline. Two more listservs worth joining are The Computer-Assisted Language Learning listserv from TESL and the National Institute For Literacys Technology Discussion List. EFL Teaching Recipes is an extremely accessible site where ESL/EFL teachers can share their lessons, including video and images. Its just beginning, and Im sure itll be filled-up with with ideas quickly. Go over and contribute some, as well as read the excellent ones that are already there! Burcu Akyol has put together an excellent list of ESL/EFL teachers you can follow on Twitter and Shelly Terrell has done the same. TEFL.net is a worldwide forum with discussion boards, jobs listings, and a ton of other resources. If you have a blog, you might want to consider connecting with Bloggers in ELT, freelancers. Its a group begun by Karenne Sylvester, and you can read all about it here. Of course, TESOL, the association of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, is a huge international organization with lots of resources. It is also one of two resources on this list that costs to join, but it does offer reduced rates depending on your situation. The other organization in this post that costs to join is IATEFL, the International Association of Teachers of English As A Foreign Language. TESOL seem similar to me, though TESOL seems more based in the Americas while IATFL in Europe, but that might not be an accurate description of the differences. Please correct me if Im wrong. IATEFL does have a good listserv for K-12 teachers teachers that is free to join its called Young Learners. You might also find The Best ESL/EFL Blogs list useful. http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/ 50. The FREE CyberSmart Toolbar Tour www.howcast.com CyberSmart!
