My name is Janet Bianchini. I am a
freelance EFL teacher/trainer living in Abruzzo, Italy. 2009
has truly been the year of technological enlightenment for
me. My life has changed since I embraced the following tools
for the very first time in 2009. Blogging has also
completely revolutionised my life and my blog is called
Janet's Abruzzo Edublog. In no particular order, these
are the Top 10 tools I love.
