Umm…how is this different from the Edublog Awards? Just got here from your negative comment about those. I’m not an edublogger–just an educator who thought that having the Awards announcement in Second Life was a cool idea. The negativity about the awards in the twit/blogosphere just crossed my radar. Very strange. What’s the point?
That particular post, was literally copied straight from an email received from the HL people. I neither support nor dismiss thos particular awards. I posted the email contents as a favour.
Re my comments about the Edublog Awards, I don’t see the true value in those particular awards and any ‘awards’ that rely purely off a website poll… well we’re not exactly in the Electoral Reform Society arena are we? But if they fit their purpose - promotion of edu blogging / edusphere - and the folks who participate are happy that’s their business.
Thanks for your comment, and very nice to ‘meet’ you Liz. Happy New Year!
