Teachers' favorite online sites
I don't mind if students give their favorite sites but I am wondering if there are any gold mines out there to help teachers do their job easier.
An example that I found just yesterday is alphabetizer.flap.tv. Strange name yes, but it is so wonderful at taking a whole chunk of words and putting them in order. This saves half an hour.
I hope I can find more free useful stuff like this, and it is hard to find most the time.

Thanks Mister. I finally got around to checking them out. I think the one I really invest time in is the corpus. It amazed me the first time I looked at it but it scared me how much it can do. There is a lot of learning needed to work out how to do everything on it.
Do you use the corpus much? What parts?

JohnBozDo you use the corpus much? What parts?I am not doing research, so I do not use many of its functions. Primarily, it is a much better check of reputable usage than is Google search.

I have just spent an hour learning the wordandphrase.info section of the corpus and it is mind blowing. Only frustrating things I cannot copy and paste out of it.
This is what I am doing with it now.
Paste in a text and very quickly spot words which ought to be changed to suit the students level. Or leave them in there and take those words away for them to study before read

I have discovered that the coca has a 100 query limit which is good for my sanity. It also game a chance to research to find another great online collocations dictionary. http://www.ozdic.com/
