Every year, Edublogs runs the Edublog Awards a.k.a. The Eddies. This is a chance for the education blogging community to come together and vote for their favorite bloggers and tweeters. The awards emerged as a response to schools, districts and educational institutions blocking access to both teacher and learner blogs.
The Edublog Awards demonstrate the educational value of these tools, promoting blogs and social media as a fantastic resource for educators. It’s also an opportunity for educators to learn what blogging and social media tools work in different contexts. And, of course, it’s a great way to showcase the-best-of-the-best in the education blogging community.
