Virtual School Meanderings Named To Our Top 50 School Technology Blogs

This was nice to see in Tuesday’s inbox (even if it is largely a way to publicize the for-profit sponsor)…

Hi Michael,

My name is Charles and I wanted to let you know that Virtual School Meanderings was added to our Top 50 School Technology Blogs at http://www.teachercertificationdegrees.com/top-blogs/school-technology/ since we think your blog is a great resource for teachers.

Here is our summary:

“On Virtual School Meanderings, Assistant Professor of Instructional Technology and Education Evaluation & Research Michael Barbour shares distance education resources and ponders ideas about the effective online delivery of material to K-12 students in virtual and cyber classrooms.”

I help run a teaching career site that provides information for individuals interested in becoming a teacher. If you would like to share your award badge on your site or can mention our list of top school tech blogs we would really appreciate it.

Best wishes,

Virtual School Meanderings Named A Top Education Technology Site In 2012

I believe this should finish off the items from Tuesday’s inbox…

Hello Michael

I’m writing this to let you know about a list OnlinePhDProgram.org has published entitled Top 25 Education Technology Sites in 2012.

We pored through hundreds of worthy sites focused on education technology both in and out of the classroom, selecting our final 25 based on factors including readership, post quality, search ranking, and site age. I’m very pleased to let you know that your site has made the final list! You can view it here:  http://onlinephdprogram.org/2012/education-technology/

We consider the union of technology and learning essential to the future of education. Sites on this list offer everything from simple tech tips, to examples of how to utilize technology to help students learn in new and unique ways.

Should you wish to spread the word about our list and promote your inclusion, we’ve created a badge for you; included both as an embed code (found below) and as a file attachment:

“><img src=”http://onlinephdprogram.org/top_education_technology_site_2012.png” alt=”Top Education Technology Site 2012″ width=”200″ height=”102″ /></a>

Congratulations, and if you have any questions for me, or need help incorporating the badge on your site please let me know!

Cheers,
Erin

I suspect this doesn’t mean a lot, but I have added the badge all the same.
