Awards Season 2013 – my votes in the Edublog Awards

It's that time again. The rhythm of the year inevitably reaches a staccato climax as the Edublog Awards, or Eddies, trundle laboriously into view. And happily the voting process appears much less flawed than in past years with every individual only able to vote once for each entry. Even better you can actually see who has voted for you. So I will know! Back in 2011 I was nominated for Best New Blog and got very over excited. In my self-depreciatory way I tried to mobilise my very modest Twitter following, and my mum, to vote for me. With almost imperceptible results. [...]

For the last 25 years I've managed to stay out of any kind of election but now I find myself nominated for an Edublog Award in the Best New Blog category. Which is nice.

Well, apparently lots of people knew: the Edublogs Awards have been going on since 2004. I've only been alerted to this thanks to Kristian Stills generous nomination of the The Learning Spy. Which is lovely. But before I getting too carried away practising acceptance speeches, I thought that this would be a fine opportunity to do a bit of nominating myself. So, my nomination for [...]
