I have been following the 10 Blogs Worth Keeping an Eye On initiative with great interest as a way to discover new gems in cyberspace. And it is now my turn thanks to Ozge Karaoglu, who included my blog in her list!

I could of course mention the obvious blogs that everybody talks about: those of Jeremy Harmer, Ken Wilson, Larry Ferlazzo, Shelly Terrell, Burcu Akyol and Karenne Sylvester, among others.

But since I run an educational technology blog I will focus on blogs specifically related to technology integration for language learning. So here´s my list of 10 blogs in no particular order:

• Breaking News English, Sean Banville´s ready-made lessons based on news
• Digital Play, Graham Stanley and Kyle Mawer´s blog on digital game-based learning
• Free English Lessons Online, Sue Lyon-Jones lessons based on web materials
