A quick word from Andy...
So much material on the internet is free, but you have to spend time looking around and then evaluate it, and then organise it.
If you want the best, I believe you have to pay for it. The good news with Nik´s 7 amazing publications, as that they cost hardly anything at all and you get so much content. For me, he is the best out there in his field.

Digital Tools for Teachers (2nd edition)
This book has been written and designed primarily with English language teachers in mind though the majority of the resources and tools contained in the book will have much wider use than just language teaching.
The book contains more than 70 tools and resources and these have been hand picked because they represent a broad cross-section of what is at present available.

Digital Tools for Teachers – Trainers’ Edition v2
In this second version of the Trainers’ Edition of Digital Tools for Teachers I have built on the original volume of Digital Tools for Teachers by updating and extending many of the original chapters and also by adding seven additional new chapters. Like the first edition, the first four chapters are provided as a guide for teachers who want to use the book for teacher training and development. Using the tools, tips and activities provided in these first chapters a teacher with some basic experience of using technology in the classroom should be able to create motivating hands-on edtech training for their peers or for pre-service trainee teachers.

20 Tech Enhanced Activities for the Language Classroom
This ebook was designed to be the first in a series of collections of the simple activities and ideas I have used over many years when delivering teaching and teacher training sessions that incorporate the use of digital technologies.
The ideas use simple free tools that have stood the test of time and remained consistently reliable. The teaching ideas and activities themselves are ones that I have adapted from my pre-technology teaching days, so they are all built on sound classroom teaching practice.
