In the recent Scholastica Teacher Blog of the Year competition, http://www.misterconnor.com/ has been awarded third position.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and put the site into the final ten. This was from a field of more than three-hundred.
Please remember, though, that much of the site’s content comes from discussions and work we do in class, so this is really an award for the pupils I teach at Golspie High School.
Here’s the info taken directly from the competition’s site:
Judges were looking for:
-
A willingness to share resources and ideas
-
Responsiveness to the blog’s audience
-
Regular and timely updates
-
Posts that provoke comment

Technostories pushed David to the limit here with one judge commenting “a wonderful resource sharing blog full of practical advice and tips for teachers – I must read for all those interend in primary education”.
Third in this category was Mister Connor – judges said that this was “a great example of a teachers blog to support the learners at their school” and “there’s some excellent accessible content on Mr Connor’s Blog”.
