Congratulations to all our PLP Friends on the EduBlog Awards shortlist!

The judging panel for the 2011 EduBlog Awards has posted its final nominees in this year’s contest — and it’s great to see so many PLP friends and colleagues on the lists.

You can vote here for any or all of the 18 categories until 11:59 p.m., U.S. Eastern time, Tuesday, December 13.

I’m particularly proud that our group blog Voices from the Learning Revolution, launched just nine months ago, made the shortlist for Best Group Blog. With curation and editorial support from PLP consultant John Norton, we’ve posted more than 100 essays and articles written by nearly two dozen public and independent school teachers, principals, instructional and tech coaches and central office administrators. As one nominator (Tempered Radical Bill Ferriter) put it:

I’m still in the classroom full-time, so I understand better than most the sacrifices that we make when we choose to teach.  I also understand just how risky it can be to make our practice transparent in such a public way by choosing to blog.

 

That’s why the Voices from the Learning Revolution blog — a PLP Network project — means so much to me.  It’s chock-a-block FULL of real-live classroom teachers writing with great detail about their instructional practices — and it changes what I do in my own classroom almost every time that I stop by.

You can learn more about our Learning Revolution project and see a complete list of current Voices writers here. After you check out the blog, I hope you’ll consider casting your vote in support of this amazing writing community!
