Edublog awards: a thank you note
Wow! Somehow the #Edublog awards snuck right up on me without me noticing. The problem with this: I completely missed the part where you get to nominate your edu heroes. That is a bummer! I seem to be about a week behind in my life in general this year.
I am so honored to be included in this year’s nominations. Thank you to those of you who considered me worthy of mention. I so appreciate all of my readers and those of you who give me consistent encouragement- you keep me going (even a week behind)!
This year I was nominated for Best Ed Tech Blog (I assume that means iLearn Technology). This blog is truly a labor of love. I haven’t been as good at updating daily as I have in the past, but I do manage a few times a week. For now that is a MAJOR accomplishment. Thank you to all of my readers. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and how it keeps me going to know that others benefit from iLearn Technology. You are wonderful.
The next award, I’m not quite sure what to do with this one. It is a lifetime achievement award. Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely floored and flattered. However; I am 30 years old. I hope this doesn’t mark my lifetime achievement 🙂 I still have the Learning Genome to launch. THAT will be an achievement! On the other hand, if I have peaked at 30- I am blessed. I’ve started a school (Anastasis Academy) that I believe honors children every day. That is an achievement!
Thank you to all of you who have nominated me, who believe in me, who cheer me on and keep me going. I honestly couldn’t do what I do without you. Thank you!
If you are interested in finding some truly incredible blogs/projects/people to follow, you should take a look through the Edublogs nominees. SO many people to inspire you! Voting is taking place until December 9th here. Of course I am flattered by votes. If you recognize or find new eduheroes, it really is an encouragement to be recognized for what you do. Vote for your favorites.
