The Edublog Awards » 2008

We’ve had an incredible number of votes so far, approaching 1000 for several categories alone, and all the more impressive because that’s limited to different individual IPs.

Also, perhaps because of that, or maybe because we’re hiding the %s, almost every category is on a knife edge!

For example, best individual votes currently look like this:

1. 123
2. 109
3. 74
4. 66
5. 65
6. 55

So, get out he vote and you’re in with a chance :)

Or, put another way, your vote will most definitely count… so get it out and use it today!

Voting now open in the 2008 awards!

The nominations are up and voting is now open in the 2008 Edublog Awards.

Voting is open until 9AM Australian Eastern Standard Time on Sunday December 21st… and the awards ceremony will be held in Second life at 10AM (more on that to come soon).

Some important changes to the way we’re doing things this year are:

- One vote per IP per category (sorry, it’s the only way to avoid rigging, to a degree, your colleagues and students are just gonna have to go vote from home… or from their iphones ;)

- You can vote for multiple blogs / sites at the same time, so vote once, but vote broadly!

- Results will not be displayed at all (we’re keeping them *completely* secret until the awards ceremony)

- Also, you’ll notice there are more nominations this time… that reflects the ever growing edublogosphere and also the quality of the nominations, nice work guys!

If you’ve been nominated, grab a badge from beneath your poll and whack it in your sidebar linking back to the poll, nominations will be listed on those pages forevermore so wear ‘em with pride.

And I’m absolutely sure there are a few typos, stuffed up links, etc. etc. :) So, let me know about them in the comments below and I’ll fix ‘em up in a jiffy.

So, what are you waiting for… go check out all those outstanding blogs, and vote for them!
