Edublog Awards and Year in Review
I have had the honor of being nominated for Best Individual Blog in this year's Edublogs awards. Each year this event serves as a reminder of the importance of social media in education, as well as a great place to find new blogs and other resources for ideas in your work. As has been the trend, SLPs have made a good showing this year, including:
2014 was a good year. I got to quite a few places to make presentations- Atlanta, Las Vegas, Michigan, Ottawa, Nova Scotia, Nashville, Orlando, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Cincinnati. I wrote a bunch of columns for the ASHA Leader and nearly 50 posts here on the blog. Whew! Looking forward to a productive 2015, but I need to take a rest for a few weeks!
To close out the year (though I probably will sneak one or two in), here are the most popular posts of 2014:
Calming, Part 2
TED Talks of Interest to SLPs and Language Folks
Re-Usable Images
Stick Around: The Spectrum of Repurposing
iPad Essentials: Window Shopping in the App Store
Phrasal Verbs Machine (don't quite know why this one got so many hits, but OK)
DirecTV's "Don't" Commercials
Social Fortune and Fate/Comics Head
30/30

Hope these are of use to review or if you missed them! Have a great Holiday Season...
- The Speech Dudes (Best Group Blog)
- Yapp Guru (Best New and Resource Sharing Blog)
- Dr. Bronwyn Hemsley for her sharing on Twitter
- The hashtags #slpeeps and #wespeechies for communities on Twitter
- PrAACtical AAC for best educational use of media
- and Caroline Bowen for Lifetime Achievement
If you get a moment to stop by the Best Individual Blog category and give me a vote, I'd appreciate it! This requires signing in Twitter, Facebook or Google. In the case of Facebook, you need to allow access but not to allow Listly to post.
It totally slipped my mind to do nominations this year, with ASHA Convention and all, so I want to give a shout-out to Chris Bugaj and family at A.T.TIPSCAST, who continue to provide entertaining and extremely helpful podcasts. Check them out on your free Podcasts app. Chris should be at least as popular as Serial. Though I am obsessed with Serial.
