Edublog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An edublog is a blog written by someone with a stake in education. Examples might include blogs written by or for teachers, blogs maintained for the purpose of classroom instruction, or blogs written about educational policy. The collection of these blogs is called the edublogosphere by some, in keeping with the larger blogosphere, although that label is not necessarily universally agreed upon. Others refer to the community or collection of blogs and bloggers as the edusphere.

[edit] Directories

There are Directories which list Edubloggers by country. Most include a name and a brief description of the concerns of the blog.

[edit] Awards

The Edublog Awards were first hosted by James Farmer on his blog. They soon spread to include entries from around the world and have been voted on by thousands of educators. The list of categories changes from year to year, to adapt to the changing face of the edublog community.
