The Edublog Awards is a wonderful way of getting an incredible list of educational blog list to explore, update your RSS feed with and learn from.
I was honored to be nominated in two categories and humbled to have been voted Runner Up for “Best Educational Tech Support Blog. It is good to know that others are viewing my work as a support for their own work in teaching.
Congratulations to all winners, runner ups, AND nominees.
Recognition such as the one from Scott Meech on this occasion REALLY meant a lot to me.
Langwitches blog is required reading for me as she is a major inspiration for my work. She has more “foundational” understanding of how to utilize technology with kids than almost anyone that I have followed. While too many of us get caught up in the theoretical, she is in the trenches making things happen. Regardless of your vote, if you work with kids on a daily basis, her entries should be on the “must read” list every day!
Vicki Davis’ recent tweet also expresses what I feel:
We are teachers after all and helping and supporting others in their learning is WHAT WE DO.
I don’t blog or share for recognition or awards. My blog is my outlet to:
- document my work
- see the progress of my own professional development and growth
- help me reflect
- get feedback and advice if I am on the right track or haven’t considered one perspective or another
- connect to my PLN
- disseminate my students’ work to reach a global audience
- share my own learning and teaching, so someone else can reach students, I will never see or meet.
