My 2010 Edublogs Awards Nominations

Here are my nominations for 2010 Edublogs Awards. I had a really hard time choosing for each category because I read so many wonderful blogs. So, I finally bit the bullet and chose some for this. But if I didn’t mention you, it isn’t because I don’t think you are great, it only means that I had to choose only one. Thanks to all for inspiring and motivating me. These blogs have made me want to create, connect, and collaborate which I believe is vital to world of education.
