I’ve been too busy to blog anything thoughtful lately as I try to tame the beastly workload that comes at the end of the school year, so I was really chuffed to be shortlisted for the 2007 Edublogs Awards for best new blog. There are some fantastic writers/teachers/thinkers who are using the read/write web to connect with others who are passionate about creating education systems and classrooms that are progressive and engaging. Many people say that they write for the reflection that blogging allows (and it does), but for me blogging is about being inspired by, and connecting with, other teachers who are also on the slippery slope of learning in a world changed by technology.
Check out the nominees here:
1. Best individual blog
2. Best group blog
3. Best new blog
4. Best resource sharing blog
5. Most influential blog post
6. Best teacher blog
7. Best librarian / library blog
8. Best educational tech support blog
9. Best elearning / corporate education blog
10. Best educational use of audio
11. Best educational use of video / visual
12. Best educational wiki
13. Best educational use of a social networking service
14. Best educational use of a virtual world
Congrats on that. I was happy to see someone nominated you – now get out from under your workload and give us more frequent brilliance 😉
(I couldn’t resist nibbling the hand that feeds this “competition,” though.)
Hi Clay,
