Lights, Camera, Nominations: SIGVE at the Eddies By Kae Novak (RL), Kavon Zenovka (sl)
The Edublog Awards http://edublogawards.com/ or “Eddies” are a community based initiative started in 2004 to create resources for educators on how educational technology and social media are used in different contexts with a range of different learners. Each year, the Edublog Awards nominations are gathered through a process where educators can nominate favorite blogs and sites in a wide range of categories. The nomination process requires that the blog, social network or online events be publically nominated on an educational blog and self-‐nomination is not allowed. For 2012, there were approximately 2000 nominations in 20 categories. Each year, judges review the nominations and a list of finalists is chosen. This year, SIGVE was nominated for the “Best Social Network for Educators 2012”, selected as a finalist and was named in the top 5 Best Networks!
In addition to SIGVE, we had several members also nominated. To take a look at all of the amazing SIGVE members who were finalists, please go to this link for their blogs and sites: http://sigve.iste.wikispaces.net/Edublog+2012+finalists
