My edublog nominations – Down Under edition

This blog has been in existence for less than a year however I still am going to do my part by putting in some nominations for the Edublog awards. These awards celebrate all the great stuff educators are doing with social media. I  think there’s great stuff happening in New Zealand and Australia so I’m going to indulge in some geographic nepotism in my nominations for 2011 Edublog awards.

Best individual blog – Integrating technology Kathleen’s energy and enthusiasm for blogging is infectious. She is hands down the nicest person on the internet. and knows her stuff.

Best individual tweeter – @mgraffin  Setting up the #globalclassroom initiative makes you a star.

Best group blog – Inquire within fascinating, thought provoking  a must-read. Although not technically a downunder blog as there are people blogging from around the world, @whatedsaid’s involvement means I can give it a plug.

Best class blog –  Learning hub 3 has a cracker of a class blog and they even put up with me having a nose around their space.

Best student blog –  Jarrod’s awesome blog Jarrod blogs like a pro and he’s only year 2! Go Jarrod.

Best teacher blog –  e-learning 2011 is a must read. Krivett1 is always such a wonderful source of sound advice I consider her my virtual Associate Teacher.

Best School Administrator blog – I’m taking that to mean anyone with principals somewhere in their job title and hereby nominate Open learning spaces which deserves a wide audience.

Best educational use of video – Room 8 @ Melville  have been a long-time favourite blog of mine for their use video.  I’m sure the students I teacher next year will be learning so much from you.

Best educational wiki – Ruma Tahi wiki is amazing I especially loved their end of week wrap ups.

Best open PD / unconference / webinar series – the Educamps, I only made two but they were awesome.
