Please help publicize the 2008 Education Blogosphere Survey

Sign up for the Smarter Faster newsletter

A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people

The second annual Education Blogosphere Survey ends on Saturday. If you have a holiday today, it’s a great time to complete the survey or publicize it to others!

We’re off to a good start. Last year 160 edubloggers participated. Right now the total is 307. It looks like we’ll make my goal of doubling last year’s participants. Dare I strive for 500?

Please use the link and/or the graphic and help spread the call for participants. Here’s the HTML code if you want to paste it on your blog / web site:

As I noted in this year’s call for participation, you can see last year’s survey results to get a sense of how I’m going to report out this year.

A HUGE THANKS in advance to anyone and everyone who helps publicize this!

Deadline = January 26, 11:00pm, (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)
