Thanks for your nomination for best e-learning blog. I’m very honoured!
I’m also honored to have made your list, and particularly in the “teacher” category. I’ve had some interesting discussions about the idea you highlight, that many of us are and remain teachers although we may not be in the classroom every day.
Thanks for your nomination.
