Our favorite Cool Cat Teacher (Vicki Davis), has challenged us to find our favorite 2005-2006 blog posting. I spent an evening in front of three episodes of The West Wing (Season 5), skimming through my school year writing, and identified a goodly number of posts that I was pretty happy about. Then culled them down to the top ten, as suggested by Cool C.
I haven’t ranked them in David Letterman style. I don’t think I could. I did, however, include the honorable mentions as Cool did. I do believe that this is a good idea. As she mentioned, Vicki’s blog continues to be hit, and I know that a lot of educators are involved in staff development on blogging, and that they are visiting the blogs of other educators. So giving folks access to what we think are our best is a good way to illustrate what we think edublogging is all about.
Please share your top ten and tag them with mytop10eduposts.

Since I am new to the community and the discussion, just started “Bump on the Blog” two days ago, I am limited to only two posts to choose from. So, instead of my Top 10, I humbly submit my Top One of Two.
I’m not sure if I have got the tagging thing down quite yet. If I did things right, the post is at Technorati, else it can be found at http://grenier.gotgeeks.com/blog/wordpress/

Act like a native has influenced me greatly! I am planning to teach my students to be natives and have been contemplating that on my sabbatical! I am going to spend time to make sure I’ve read your top 10!
