I just startled my husband by shouting aloud as I discovered my blog had been nominated for Best New Blog in the Edublogs awards! I remember looking at all the inspirational blogs in last year’s awards (just as I started on twitter!) and being inspired to start my own – the inspiration helped me realise it would help solve two problems I was finding:
- I kept running out of space to express myself in the 140 characters allowed by twitter
- I needed a way to remember what I was doing!
Blogging has proved to be a tremendously powerful reflective tool, as well as a record of what has been going on in my class and cpd. It’s been a useful way for me to record my notes. What has surprised me is how many others are interested in reading it too – but if my mistakes and/or successes help someone else in their own practice so they don’t have to re-invent the same wheels, then I am more than happy to share what I have been doing and what I have been learning.
SO thank you. Thank you for reading my posts. Thank you to all who have encouraged and supported – even taking the time to comment. Thank you to whoever nominated the blog. I feel extremely honoured and it is just the icing on the cake of what has been, for me, a truly amazing year – my best year ever, professionally speaking.
Woohoo Nice one Jan
It would be great if you can use this nomination to promote all the great work we’re doing in the UK primary schools with PrimaryBlogger.
