2010 EduBlog Award Nominations: I don't read blogs much, but when I do...

By chanatown -

I'll be honest - I don't read too many blogs. I have a hard enough time staying on top of current events, tech news, not to mention my full time job as a technology integration specialist. However, I have found a passion for writing through this blog over the past few months, and I do find value in reading several other sources for ideas, inspiration, and creativity. So, on a day of giving thanks, I'd like to nominate the following for the 2010 EduBlog Awards.


Best individual blog: Free Technology for Teachers

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Richard at the Google Teacher Academy in DC '09, and it was like meeting a celebrity.  =)

Best group blog: Tech and Learning

  • Love the magazine, and this is a nice collaborative way to keep a blog.
Best resource sharing blog: Free Technology for Teachers

  • So good, I nominated the site twice. One stop shopping here.

Best teacher blog: Science Teacher

  • If I was still teaching science, I'd stay caught up with his insightful thoughts.
Best educational tech support blog: Lisa Thumann

  • Great resources, opportunities for PLN, and all around strong Google connection.
Best educational use of video / visual: CommonCraft

  • You know you're watching a CommonCraft video when you see one, and oh that familiar voice...
Best educational wiki: WebTools4u2use

  • One of the best organized and most inclusive edtech wikis I've come across.
Lifetime achievement: Steve Hargadon

  • I get a lot of emails from Steve, and it doesn't make me want to unsubscribe. That should be an award on its own. Instead, we'll give him this one for all he does with C2.0, GEC, elluminate, and so much more.
Good luck to all nominees!

Quick EdTech Timeout (2 full and a 30 second remaining)...It's been a few weeks since that beautiful day (really, the weather was nice), April 3, when the UPS man came and delievered my shiny new toy to my doorstep (2:30pm: finally, I could leave the house!)  I've gotten a chance to use it, play around, download apps, read articles, skim some books, and much, much more. So, here's Part 1 of why I love my iPad...

Google Apps for Education Certification Program

By chanatown -
Hot off the heels of my Google Teacher Academy reflection, it appears that Google has unveiled its much anticipated (as discussed on the GTA Google Group) Certification Program for Trainers and Partners.  It appears to be a valid attempt to get more trainers (and perhaps not just teachers) out there to spread the good word about Google Apps for Education.  According to the site, there are three attainable levels:  Qualified Individual, Certified Trainer, and Certified Partner.  To achieve the first level, you must pass 6 online exams, each costing $15.  This seems reasonable, especially compared to Microsoft certification exams, but I imagine that this process is not quite as rigorous.  Still, it's nice to make the program accessible to a wide spectrum, and we shall see who ends up benefiting the most from the increased opportunities.  I will most likely complete the certification process this summer and depending on my experience, I will potentially recommend interested ETHS educ
