Nominations from the University of Northampton for EduBlog Awards

Nominations for the Edublogs Awards from the University of Northampton:

Best new blog

http://mypad.northampton.ac.uk/iodim/  Images of Disability (Kyffin Jones).

New Blog created in November 2013 for Undergraduate module examining perceptions of disability.  Students were asked to source images of disability portrayed in the Media and add as a post, then use the Class Blog to support discussion.  This became even more meaningful when Dominic Hyams, whose YouTube video ‘Crip on a Trip’ was posted on the Blog, was invited in to meet the class, to discuss and challenge their own perceptions.

Best ed tech / resource sharing blog
