I think you have made excellent choices. I’m familiar with several on your list and am looking forward to taking a peek at the new ones.
Sylvia! thanks so much for the nomination!
What I’m most tickled about is the category you chose. “Computer” teachers (and many “special” subject area teachers) aren’t often considered “regular” teachers and so the acknowledgment really means a lot to me.
So glad to be in your learning network! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Sylvia – thanks so much for the nomination, it is very kind of you 🙂 my blog has moved to a new URL though.
Currently at http://edte.ch but all the same “resource sharing” goodness as before!
Thanks again
@Kevin
I have been a “resource” teacher for a long time too. I know exactly what you mean. The category I nominated you for was chosen with care. It shines through in your blog that you are an incredible TEACHER!
@Tom
So sorry about the URL mistake. Will fix it in the post. Thank you for all the resources you share!!
Thank you so much Sylvia for nominating me! I am honored! Wow!
