Thank You My Awesome Educator Community!

Posted on by shellterrell

Thank you so much for being such a supportive Personal Learning Network (PLN)! Your kindness, support, collaboration, and participation have kept me inspired and motivated. In the education field it is especially easy to get stressed and feel you’re fighting a war alone with no appreciation from your government, parents, students, and/or administrators. Thank you for nominating Teacher Reboot Camp (Teacher Boot Camp) and the several projects I collaborate on/ participate in for the Edublog Awards in these categories (just click on the link to vote):

Just being nominated from friends is the best gift possible. You continually share your encouragement and that’s beyond words inspirational and amazing. Visit the Edublog Awards home page to vote in all the categories. Even if you disagree with awards, I think the Edublogs awards makes it easy to spread the word about outstanding projects. Support your friends because spreading the word is what it’s about! Plus, an entire school could definitely benefit by winning the prize of a years free Edublogs Campus subscription. It’s a great way to get students and teachers reflecting through blogging. Even if you don’t vote for these projects I urge you to nominate the projects you follow and participate in because you and your community deserve it. You have till Dec. 14th to vote!
If you don’t believe in awards then I urge you to support the bloggers and collaborative projects listed below in these specific Edublogs Awards categories with comments or participation. Definitely, it is your right not to believe in awards but I think we should at least show support in some way to new bloggers, student bloggers, class blogs, and collaborative projects. All these efforts inspire educational change through reflection, the sharing of what does work in education, and action towards educational transformation.
