It's a well deserved recognition of the great blog you have and the connected learning you advocate particularly considering that your teaching deep within the hard-yards of the primary sector. I hope you scoop it up or at the very least enjoy your fiften minutes of fame. I'm firmly convinced that I'm in for a decade of infamy :-) Graham,

Of course, as you say, I am a 'fast learner' and the fact that I can have fun leading a whole system of schools forward in a Web 2.0 world is a credit to you and others like you, more than to me. I have learned from my interaction with others. I have become excited through sharing with others. And most importantly, I really enjoy the authentic sharing of the blogosphere. This is just magic really. None of us has time to have 'tickets' on ourselves if we want to keep pace with the changing learning needs of our students. Tomorrow I head of to do yet another presentation on Web 2.0 to a secondary school staff, on the PD day. When I do my sessions I am always pleased to be able to refer to the good work that our Aussie colleagues doing. Until a few weeks ago I didn't even know these awards existed. So I am stunned and honoured to be nominated, and totally amazed at this outcome after 6 months blogging. Wow! You've been a grand online friend. Lets all keep up the great work. Lets see what 2007 brings! Ah, so the secret is out :-)

Congratulations. I really enjoy your plain spoken honesty, and consider my blogging acquaintance with you to be one of the great benefits that's come from keeping the weblog. Best of luck to you in your blogging endeavors. You're right about my reaction to getting the attention of any group. The outcome of the question about who gets an award is far less interesting to me than the fact that anyone should think I ought to get one. I feel like I already won something. Thanks for the kind words. Graham, I see your name on the list as well. Congratulations.
