Just posted this on The Edublog Awards site. There have been over 300 nominations so far but I reckon people need to think outside the box a bit :)
“Also, let’s get imaginative people! Probably 50% of the many hundreds of nominations so far are for ‘best teacher’ – whatabout best designed, best individual, best newcomer, best post and best paper… going for a niche you’re strong in will seriously increase your chances of making it through to the shortlist.”
