My nominations for the 2010 Eddies

I could easily nominate most of the blogs and bloggers acknowledged in previous years, as all continue to be a daily or weekly part of my reading, tweeting and RSS circuit. However, I have decided to make a completely fresh list of my favs for 2010. This has proven to be extremely difficult and many great blogs and bloggers, of course, could not be listed. My nominations for the 2010 Edublog Awards are as follows: Best individual blog: Dean Groom’s,... Read More

The 2010 Edublog Awards

Here, in one great long list, is a huge collection of the resources... Read More

The 2009 Edublog Awards

The Edublog Awards are now in their 6th year. Bloggers provide me with so much inspiration and so many new ideas that reflecting on the year for these awards is very pleasant indeed. It is also very difficult to choose just one blogger or tweep (apologies to colleagues who have missed out from me this year and I did agonise over this).  My nominations are as follows: Best individual blog – Chris Betcher because he continues to lead and... Read More

HIT REFRESH: Leading and Blogging

Welcome to our blogging workshop today for the NSW English Teachers’ Association annual conference.  Before we commence, lets gather some data using a great online tool called Survey Monkey (only for conference delegates please). A key issue: why do you want to blog? What is your purpose? What do you want to achieve? How can you connect? Kelli McGraw is a great example of an English teacher and leader blogging. I recommend you read her recent... Read More
