The Edublog Awards are managed by the edublog organization but anyone on any platform can be nominated.

Sue Waters @suewaters is the Community support manager for Edublogs and helps manage the Edublog Awards each year. [See my earlier post on the Edublog Awards.]

Started in March 2013, Every Classroom Matters was named an Edublog finalist for best podcast or hangout. in 2013. Every Classroom Matters

Thanks for the nomination of this show.

As I’m writing this, the Edublog Awards voting closes at 11:59 pm EST 12/18/2013. 

If you want to understand how the awards work, why they were first founded, and a little bit more transparency behind the scenes – Sue gives us all a peek into how it all works and some lessons learned through the years.

One of my favorite things said in this podcast is when Sue talks about how she always “finds” new people who have an amazing body of work. I do too – it is kind of like “where have you been all my life.” I look at all of the finalists and add them to my Twitter and PLN but remember this. YOU nominate in November. We have to do a better job of remembering some of the people we take for granted who have been serving education for years and are left off the list. If your favorite isn’t there, please say thank you to them in a Tweet or an email. Kindness always matters and recognizing edublogging and sharing in education matters.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
