There is certainly no shortage of individuals and groups with positive contributions in the area of education. I’m going to nominate a couple of my favourites, and I’m trying to focus on new voices or those who have been around for a while but are deserving of more attention. I encourage you to do the same. I wrote last year about my concerns about using awards to single out specific writers/netcasters, but I think that the edublog awards can be a great forum for generating some publicity for those who aren’t getting as much as they deserve.

I finally came to peace with it as a great way to get some visibility for the entire community. Sweet, and a little goofy, the "ceremony" yesterday confirmed that this was a good time to reflect on and celebrate our collaborations across the blogosphere. I do and did worry a bit about mutual self-congratulation angle, and the popularity contest structure, but all in all the benefits seemed to outweigh the liabilities. On to next year!</p> Rob,

I think that using the awards (or any awards) as a means of highlighting some of the great work that is going on is a good idea, and I hope that is the outcome of the project. It would be nice to see different names making the shortlist every year so that we can celebrate the breadth of great stuff happening in the community.

We definitely need to get together to talk - we are talking tomorrow night and I’ll mention this to everyone else. I’d love for this to happen sometime sooner rather than later.

Good luck with the EduBlogger Awards - if we weren’t in the running, I’d definitely be voting for you. Maybe I will anyway! ;^D

It is by no means exhaustive, but it is a good start. oh. and we need to set a date for getting you guys and us guys together. any suggestions...? dave. -->edtechtalk.</p> Hi Rob,
