It's marvellous to have met you on...Dear Alice,<br />It's marvellous to have met you on Twitter. Great times ahead :)<br /><br />Dear Nergiz,<br />You really opened my eyes when we met online on your SL site. I was deeply impressed by your agenda. However, I must say I'm a little torn about SL at this point. A while ago someone made me realized what it was that has kept me from coming back, and that is the avatar faces. Eye contact is really important to me. I love the opportunity to meet online, and definitely see the advantage of a virtual reality over a flat video conference, but not seeing your face is just a little disconcerting. Have you heard this from other people, too? <br /><br />Dear Larry,<br />A message from you is like one from Mount Parnassus. Your blog is the bottom line, the most thoroughly researched, the leading edge. Your lessons learned from years of experience with really challenging students shine through everything you write. Teaching college students and adults in Germany is really a piece of cake in comparison.<br /><br />Dear Karenne,<br />Your list makes me want to read, read, read! Someone said, it may have been Lindsay or Alex, that you should write a coursebook. I disagree. I think you should write a teacher's handbook on blogging, edited down to the sustaining essentials and on a Kindle.<br /><br />Dear Lindsay,<br />Your blog is just unbelievable. I missed quite a few posts, and when I started surfing back I discovered all these treasures. I see it's been nominated for best individual blog and not for the collaborative category, but you've really redrawn the map on this. I need to attend a proper teacher workshop of yours, not just a short session. <br /><br />Dear Marisa,<br />You're the head EFL teacher I've always wanted to have. Full stop. :) You explore all the right angles, looking at the teaching materials and tools that are there and seeing what can be done with them. So much common sense in one spot is totally refreshing.<br /><br />Dear Alex,<br />Guilty pleasure is a great category! My guilty pleasure blogs tend to be on posterous.com for the great photos they attach. Like Clementine Osakin's http://reflectionof.me/. Yours?<br /><br />Thank you all!<br /><br />AnneAnne Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225113474074315864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710244712476408021.post-8601979272262189522009-12-09T10:14:28.364+01:002009-12-09T10:14:28.364+01:00Thanks for the nomination.

How ironic that I get myself attention by not Twittering!<br /><br />How about "guilty pleasure" as an EFL blog category as well?Alex Casehttp://www.tefl.net/alexcasenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710244712476408021.post-7168923299011147082009-12-08T21:55:10.781+01:002009-12-08T21:55:10.781+01:00It's so lovely and so unexpected for me to be ...It's so lovely and so unexpected for me to be nominated at all! <br /><br />Thank you so much!<br /><br />I didn't know I was going to be so touched by all these nominations... hmmm...now I've got to put on my thinking hat and 'think this through properly'.....:-) !!!Marisa Constantinideshttp://marisaconstantinides.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710244712476408021.post-41749753737790862392009-12-08T21:37:03.322+01:002009-12-08T21:37:03.322+01:00Anne

And, yes, there ...Thanks for the nomination, Anne!<br /><br />And, yes, there are many wonderful blogs out there that don't fit any category, might never get an award or even a nomination but are worth reading.<br /><br />I see these awards more as a celebration of blogs in general rather than any specific one. Having said that, it feels nice to be nominated :)<br /><br />NergizNergiz Kernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13994090426095621069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7710244712476408021.post-10201073439075419432009-12-07T19:03:33.942+01:002009-12-07T19:03:33.942+01:00I'm not into "nominations" and "...I'm not into "nominations" and "awards", but I really like your last paragraph... because it is personnal and fresh and sparky and because yes, I do "read blogs like that"!<br /><br />Alice MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
