British Council is a useful career-related website that I'm not using in my current job, but I used it a lot when I worked at school; Not only because it has available material for me as teacher, but it also contains a lot of exercises for students to practice at home and using the computer as a tool for learning english.
What's the difference with other english websites? in my opinion here you have more than one option to achieve what you are looking for. For example, in other webpages you might find only fill in the blank activities, but here you have suitable tasks according to the different levels and proficiency. This webpage also has a friendly design, which makes easier for teachers and students to find what they need, because the contents are organized into categories. Also, it is possible to develop different skills because you can find listening, reading, writing activities and some others of repetition.
I also used a lot of ideas specially games, that helped me to apply the contents in a meaningful and interesting way for students and of course they enjoyed them.
I think it is important to use technological resources specially nowadays that most of the people have access to a computer and is something they are familiar with.
