This came as a bolt from the blue. I didn't even know about the awards until I received an email from Lani congratulating me on my nomination for Best Education Blog. (Thanks Lani!) I'm in some pretty august company in the education category.

All nominees are entered in Round 1. After a week, voting takes place again in Round 2; the final round. The list of nominees is reduced to the top 5 and Round 2 voting determines the winner.

The awards are quite far reaching with nominees from almost 30 different categories across the Canadian blogosphere. Check out the awards site and, if you're so inclined, you can participate in the "Round 1 Vote" for your favourite Canadian Education blog here. Poke around the other categories too. There's lots of good Canadian blogging to explore and learn from. ;-)

UPDATE: January 23, 2008

The finalists have been announced and I made the first cut in the Education Category. ;-) Thanks to everyone who voted for me and congratulations to the other finalists which include my friends Clarence and Alec.

On to Round 2. The competition looks to be stiff. ;-) Voting is here.
