Edublog Awards - Sure, You Can Nominate Us

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on

Attention Fellow Education Bloggers

The third international Edublog Awards is an independently run, community-based awards program which recognizes and promotes excellence in the educational use of social software.

What's interesting about these is that blogs are nominated by other education bloggers. Just like the Academy awards.

This year there are ten categories:

  1. Best audio and/or visual blog
  2. Best group blog
  3. Best individual blog
  4. Most influential post, resource or presentation
  5. Best library/librarian blog
  6. Best newcomer
  7. Best research paper on social software within learning and teaching
  8. Best teacher blog
  9. Best undergraduate blog
  10. Best wiki use

RULES:

Only current edubloggers are invited to nominate contenders. If you post publicly, and produce some content related to education, you are recognized as an edublogger for the purposes of this competition and are eligible to nominate. Please include your blog url with your nominations.

Each participant is able to make a maximum of two nominations per category. Self-nomination is perfectly acceptable, but you are encouraged to nominate the blogs, projects and papers that you genuinely believe to be outstanding examples of practice. Please list your nominations in order of preference. You may enter the same person or site for more than one award.

Nominations are open from November 8 to 30. When you have decided on your nominations for all of the categories you want to propose, you can cut and paste this template into the body of an email, complete it and send to the awards email address: 2006awards@googlemail.com

The most popular, eligible nominations in each category will be available to vote on from December 2 to 14. Winners will be announced live at a special broadcast awards ceremony currently scheduled for December 1500 GMT.

We certainly wouldn't mind having Serendipity35 make the list of education blogs. Though we could nominated be in a number of categories (2,4,6,8? ), we are probably best suited for #6, "Best Newcomer," since this is still our first year online.

We won't let it go to our heads that someone else called us "the best blog on higher ed technology" but it'd be nice to at least get a nomination from the quite legitimate and well known Edublog Awards.

I'm opening up my Bloglines account now and figuring out who I want to nominate.


Your humble bloggers,
