I’m extremely honored to have Teachers Love SMART Boards win the 2008 Edublog Award for Best Educational Technology Support Blog.
This blog’s only purpose is to help teachers use their SMART Boards more effectively in the classroom. I try to achieve this objective by following one simple rule…”Sharing is Caring!”
The secret of success is not in the hording
of information but rather in the sharing of information.
I would like to take this time to “share” with you who I voted for in this year’s Edublog Awards. It was quite difficult to pick a single blog (or wiki) in a few of the categories since so many outstanding blogs were nominated. For example, in the Best Resource Sharing Blog, choosing just one is extremely unfair!
