In an interesting and productive continuation to the It's worth taking a look at this blog initiative, my great colleague David Deubelbeiss has taken me to task over my It's worth taking a look at what you missed by not recommending 10 blogs follow up post.
I stand by my earlier claim that some people missed the point, and actually think David's recent take on it even confirms that view more than ever!
However, credit where credit is due, David has gone ahead and created something even better than the original initiative of recommending 10 blogs!
Take a look at Dave's Random ELT Blog Generator:
According to Dave: "There are 130 blogs in the bunch, culled only in two ways. 1. They have been regularly updated (at least 1 post in the last 3 weeks) 2. Are not commercial mouthpieces (however soft)."
I like this a LOT! Much more exciting and discovery-based, with much greater potential of stumbling on hidden gems in the ELT blogosphere.
If you would like to insert the random ELT blog generator into your own blog or site, David has been generous enough to supply a simple HTML code for you:
<a href=”http:eflclassroom.com/randomeltblog.html” target=”_blank”><img src=”http://eflclassroom.com/images/buttons/randomeltblog1.png” alt=”Random ELT Blogs” /></a>
Outstanding work, Dave!
:-)
