Here are my nominations for the 2008 Edublog Awards:
Best Teacher Blog: Songhai Concepts. H Songhai is a high school media teacher at an alternative school in Philadelphia. He has been quietly blogging for years showcasing the many ways he uses new technology to engage his students.
Best Educational Use of a Social Networking Service: YouthVoices.net. Paul Allison and friends, with support from the National Writing Project, have created a new home for the Youth Voices project.
Best Educational Use of Audio: Teachers Teaching Teachers is a webcast run by Paul Allison and Susan Ettenheim. They invite classroom teachers and students to talk about ways they’re using technology in the classroom. They also do a great job of archiving each weeks’ show and making the audio available as podcasts.
Best Individual Blog: One of the founders of the Students 2.0 movement, Arthus, blogged through much of 2008 on his blog, Newly Ancient. He has since stopped blogging there, but I think the work he did over that time is worthy of an Edublogs Award because of his unique perspective as a student writing about education technology.
Best Resource Sharing Blog: Silvia Tolisano’s blog, Langwitches, is a great resource blog for teachers looking to integrate technology and new media.
Best Educational Wiki: Digitally Speaking is a wiki created by Bill Ferriter that offers a roadmap for using Web 2.0 in the classroom. It’s a great resource for any teacher whose looking to use blogs, wiki’s and other Web 2.0 tools with their students.
Best New Blog: Jabiz Raisdana is the author of The Intrepid Classroom, where he writes passionately about technology and teaching.
This post is a slight deviation from what I usually write about: student work. However, I wanted to take this opportunity to recognize a few of the many voices on the web who have influenced me in some way. Thanks.
