In time for award season (AMA’s were this past weekend), the Edublog Awards will be starting up.
“The Edublog Awards started in 2004 in response to community concerns relating to how schools, districts and educational institutions were blocking access of learner and teacher blog sites for educational purposes. The purpose of the Edublog awards is promote and demonstrate the educational values of these social media.”
As part of the nominating process, this post will offer who/what I feel are the best examples in education. Maybe I can even get a nod, too.
I nominate:
- Best individual blog: Teachers as Technology Trailblazers
- Best teacher blog: Zig Zagging Through Education & Technology
- Best ed tech / resource sharing blog: Free Technology for Teachers
- Most influential blog post of the year: Use the Impossible to Fail Quiz to Give Students Instant Remediation
- Best individual tweeter: @alicekeeler
Even though these categories aren’t available this year, I would like to nominate:
- Best twitter hashtag or chat: #PodcastPD
- Lifetime achievement: Grant Wiggins (posthumous)
- Best free web tool: ThingLink
Thank you. Nominations are still open 😉 with voting beginning after that.
*Voting this year is quite simple. In the past you did just like I did above, write a post with your nominations. This year, you can go to this link and fill out the form.
