Best Teacher Blog?

WOW nz-interface are running a competition and want you to participate. It is calling for entries into the INTERFACE AWARDS 2008.

It appears there are two categories

BEST USE OF ICT IN TEACHING

And

BEST TEACHER BLOG

It is this second category that got me thinking… There are so many different teacher blogs out there written by New Zealanders or at least folks like me who reside on these fair shores. How are we choose, let alone judge? How can we compare one with the other?

For example how can fair compare the weighty matters of Artichoke , with the reflective practice of Marnie , with the oh so helpful links and tips of NZChrissy , or Greg with his links to thought provoking/ amusing/ novel YOUTUBE happenings… to name but a few? Its not really apples and apples is it. I find each blog I read useful for the content found therein, for a whole raft of reasons.

Even those blogs I have mentioned are interesting and varied in their content on one level or another and should not really be pigeon-holed as I have done.

Then there are the student blogs / wikis/ podcasts that have so far gone unmentioned.

But it’s a starts, so let’s support this, even in its infancy, besides I might even win myself a laptop ;-)
