I don't normally go in for competitions, so it's rather nice to be nominated for 'Best Individual Blog' at the Edublog Awards. Better still, is to see that there are two nominations from Scotland, the other for Don Ledingham, the Head of Education in East Lothian with whom I have had the pleasure of working for the past year or two. Not bad for a global competition where, I guess, large audiences help secure nominations and votes.
So, if you enjoy a flick through edu.blogs.com or Don's blog then please do and cast your vote. Ooh, I hear a song coming on...
Unfortunately some links to the individual blogs over at the competition are wrong: I've let them know through the feedback form.
Don's Learning Log is at:
http://edubuzz.org/blogs/donsblog, not the address given.
This cloud may have a silver lining for you, though, as another 2 of the links for the individual blogs point to some geezer's blog at http://edu.blogs.com ;-)

Congrats on the nomination, Ewan. :)
Just a wee question - I was at your presentation at the SALT conference back at the beginning of the month and I was wondering where to find your presentation online?
