EdBloggerNews

If you haven't yet seen EdBloggerNews (subtitled 'News for Educationn 2.0'), head over there and take a look. Set up by Will Richardson (of "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms" fame), it, "allows us to post, or direct to the service blogs, news stories, or general web sites to a listing of community selected resources. Then you can vote for the news stories that seem most valuable to you, adding recommendation value to the story, and moving it up the list. Those stories with the most recommendations (value) appear at the top of the list. In a sense, it is a news paper, for which the readers are the editors." Description quoted from David Warlick.

Thank you to Robert Banning for pointing me at EdBloggerNews and at David Warlick's description of it.

But even better, go to Robert's post if your a Blogger blogger, so to speak (as I am for the moment). Robert has worked up some code that lets you put a 'Share it on EdBloggerNews' link after each of your posts, so that if perchance someone happens to think one of your posts ought to be shared with a wider audience, hitting that link will send the link, and a 'vote' for your post, off to the site. [Note the comment after Robert's post for a small bug that has been picked up already, though].

This will make an excellent resource to link to from our ICT in Education site.... perhaps if we have a LTS live section of the online service we could have an aggrigator of interesting educational blogs?
