Announcing January's Blog-o'-the-month! Jazzing Up Eighth Grade is a student blog from 8th grader "Abbey," and it was also nominated this year at edublogawards.com as student blog of the year. This is the first K12 student blog ever featured at the Bloggers Hut. Maybe it needs to be the first of many!
During the month of January in the Bloggers Hut, will be choosing which educational blog we want in the RSS feed for the entire month of February. This month we're going off the beam and looking at blogs from three arenas we haven't really featured in the past. We've got cooking, music, art, and just to keep it off-balance (since we can't get too conventional, even when we go all thematic), math.
If you'll look at each one of these blogs you'll see that the authors share one thing--a passion for their topic. How to vote? How to vote? That's for you to decide. Read:
