EduBlog Awards 2013

I was humbled to find out that this blog, Teaching All Students was nominated for the 2nd year in a row for an EduBlog Award.  I have to say, that being nominated, even though I have not done a great job of posting this year, was a huge surprise.  I have lots of plans for posts, and will get comments turned back on (as soon I can figure out how to do it...) (comments are working again, thanks Carrie Baughcum!), as soon as possible.  It has been a very different year for me with my new classroom and responsibilities, but I want to share my experiences with you.  I will be posting again soon.

Please take a moment and head over the the EduBlog Awards and vote for Teaching All Students in the Best Individual Blog category.  This year you can only vote for a site 1 time.  While you are there feel free to vote EdCeptional as the Best Podcast, too!!  Last be sure to check out all the other amazing nominees, tons of exciting new people to check out!

Thank you!

Edublog Awards 2012

I have not been the best blogger lately.  I won't give excuses, but school comes first and that has been a priority the past month or so.  With that being said I'm excited to put up my nominations for the 2012 Edublog Awards!

Best individual blog

From the Desk of Mr. Foteah

Matthew Ray, a special education teacher in New York City, writes this blog about working and teaching in a large public school setting.  The start differences between my experience is startling, as well as the similarities.  I enjoy his style, frankness and content every post!

Edublog Award Nominees 2011

It's that time again, time for the Edublog Awards 2011 (#eddies11).  This yearly event allows edubloggers the chance to share their favorite blogs and resources with the greater community.  And it's a great way to find out about other blogs!!  Here are my nominations!

Best individual blog - Zenodotus - Jim Gubbins

I've known Jim for about a year now, but I'll have to be honest I've just started reading his blog.  I have to say I've been missing out.  He's got great ideas on technology integration and web2.0 tools.  Some of my favorite posts have been about the Kindle Fire & Timetoast.

Best ed tech / resource sharing blog - Free Tech for Teachers - Richard Byrne

So many things to say about Richard's blog, but at the same time I don't know where to start.  As I write this he put up his very first post from 4 years ago.  It seems like I've been reading it forever.  Everyday there are a ton of new things to try and all for free!!

Best teacher blog - From the Desk of Mr. Foteah - Matthew Ray

I've started following Matthew's blog after a very good SpedChat on Twitter!  He's been moderating the chats, and I thought it would be a good time to check out his blog.  Check out his Letter's with a teacher and new mother!

Best twitter hashtag - #spedchat

Spedchat had a few bumps this spring and summer, lost a few moderators, and is now back and better than ever with MrMatthewRay leading the charge (see previous nomination).  Check out this great chat every Tuesday at 8:30 pm EST

Best free web tool - Tarheelreader.org

Have I ever mentioned how much I love TarHeelReader? (Tarheelreader or WebApps) It is one of the first web2.0 tools I ever mention to other teachers and colleagues.  Free books, free text to speech, accessible by switch or Intellikeys, accessible on mobile platforms (iOS, Android, Blackberry, TouchPad, etc...) - what more could you ask for in a website!

Best educational use of audio / video / visual / podcast - ATTipscast - Christopher Bugaj

Looking for a strategy to use with a student in a classroom, then this is the podcast to listen to!  So many great tips packed into short 10 minute segments.  And you can even download them, burn to CD and create free professional development packets!

Best educational wiki - UDL tech Toolkit

Karen Janowski & Joyce Kazman Valenza have put together an impressive amount of information regarding UDL on this wiki.  Check out all the tools, ideas, and websites to help you implement UDL in your classroom.

Lifetime achievement - SpeEd Change - Ira Socol

Ira is a product of the special education system, ex-New York police officer person with reading difficulties and physical impairments.  That being said, he writes some of the most interesting thoughtful posts on education, and what needs to be changed.  He has re-imagined schools to make them more accessible-both for physical and learning needs, and constantly challenges our thoughts on the status quo.  A great inspiration!

Make sure to check out the Edublog Awards page so you know when to vote!
