My 2010 Edublogs Nominees Post

Wherein I start (and end) my campaign to get us SLPs and other Special Educators a bit more recognized in the edublogosphere.

The Edublog Awards is an annual online "event" meant to recognize excellent use of social media in educational circles. Nominations are open to any blogger, and instructions on nominating are available here at the Edublog Awards Homepage (they involve creating a post like this one with your nominations, linking to the Edublogs page, and notifying Edublogs of your post via an online form). You need not nominate someone in all categories, just as many as you want to...so here goes!!

Please check out the Edublogs page and get us slpeeps and pals nominated!

Best individual blog- Speech-Language Pathology Sharing, unquestionably THE pioneer in SLP blogging, and a great sharer!
