The 2010 Edublog Award Nominations - Vote Now!

In their 7th year, the Edublog Awards are a chance to celebrate blogging, social media, and Web 2.0 in education. I should note that I am co-host of the actual awards ceremony, that Classroom 2.0 is both a previous winner of an Edublog Award and the co-sponsor of the event, and that projects of mine have received 10 nominations this year.

Kind Endorsements

"It’s true - @stevehargadon is a national treasure." @markjotter

"Steve is an amazing facilitator. He brings this wonderful combination of humility, hospitality and insight to conversations that matter in education."
-Bernard Bull

"Attracting over 10,000 information professionals each year from all around the world to discuss trends and interests in the Library 2.0 Virtual Conference series would not be possible without Steve’s highly focused organizational skills, his creative thinking, his ability to connect people, and his infectious and motivating enjoyment for the work."
-Dr. Sandy Hirsh, Director of the San Jose State University School of Information and Co-Chair of the Library 2.0 Conferences

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
-David Shenk

"Steve is one of the most influential yet understated individuals in the world of Education. He gives thought leaders a widely attended global platform to voice their ideas to transform Education, and he does so with tremendous respect and intelligence."
-Charles Fadel

"Steve conducted the most in-depth interview I've ever been through and I enjoyed it to boot!"
-Doc Searls

"Steve is the Oprah of education."
-Monika Hardy's Students

"Steve is the 'white knight' of education reform."
-Michelle Cordy

"The nicest guy in ed tech."
-Rushton Hurley

"Steve is a national treasure."
-Leonard Waks

"Steve Hargadon is one of the most important change-makers of our time!"
-Connie Weber

"Steve is a connector. He is a bridge. He is a lifeline. He takes the lead. He gets things done. Quite simply, Steve Hargadon is a humble, kind, unsung hero who makes a difference in the lives of educators worldwide."
-Joyce Valenza

"Steve is a forge! The heat of the conversations he instigates and the amazing thinkers he interviews for The Future of Education, soften the metal of some of my most valued visions and reshape them into ideas that are better … that excite me … that make it hard for me to sleep. If we succeed in hacking education into something that is, once again, relevant, we will owe more to Steve Hargadon than we will ever know."
-David Warlick

"Steve Hargadon may be the most expert person in the country when it comes to organizing virtual events. It was fun to see how organizing a complex event with many speakers is properly done. If you haven’t had a chance to see him in action, I recommend attending any one of the upcoming Library 2.0 conferences. I don’t expect that virtual conferences will go out of style any time soon.”
-Jim Lynch

"He is a man of incredible character and wisdom, and again, I am lucky to know him and work well with him."
-Lucy Gray
