100 Innovative Blogs for Education
May 12th, 2009
This blog is honored to be included in the list (at #57) of 100 Most Inspiring and Innovative Blogs for Educators, especially because I’ve been kind of bad about posting during my dissertation writing. In addition to the “big-name” blogs on the list (can’t believe this blog is on a list with the TED videos) there are some blogs that I’ve never seen before.
I think it’s important to browse lists like this because you can find pockets of wisdom that would otherwise go unnoticed. During my dissertation research, I found the most important research literature (after reading about 150 papers) by continuing to follow reference lists back to other references. At some point, I hit on a pocket of research that was rarely cited in the U.S., but incredibly valuable.
Even passive social networks (like reference lists in a journal article or a collection of blogs) can be an incredible way to learn.

Congrats, a placement well earned!
And you could always post about your dissertation, so it will feel like you’re working on it at the same time.
My blogging is unfortunately too random and subject to my personal whims to be award winning, but I’d like to think I’d make Best Dressed or perhaps the baking category.
