The Edublog Awards Committee has announced its “shortlist” of nominations, and I encourage you to visit the site to vote.  Voting is open until 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, December 9th.  Even if you do not intend to vote, you will find a surfeit of great links in each category that are fabulous resources.  I’m going to spend my entire Winter Break exploring the new sites and apps recommended in each category! Unfortunately, two of my favorite nominations, Byrdseed and Not Just Child’s Play, did not make the cut this year, but please look them over if you haven’t done so, yet.

Here were my nominations:
