Random Walk in Learning Selected January 2012 Blog-o'-the-Month!

Happy New Year 2012! We had a 3 way tie for January's Blog-o'-the-Month and I broke it by choosing the one with the most recent update. Congratulations to Albert Ip's "Random Walk in Learning," subtitled "Random rumbling during our journey through the E-Learning wonderLand" for his blog's selection as January 2012's Blog-o'-the-Month!

 As we move into the 6th year of the Bloggers Hut in Second Life (my how virtual time do fly) we're going to take a novel approach to perusing the Edublogger Awards 2010, announced just last month at http://edublogawards.com. We're putting forth our four nominees from the Runners Up, specifically the First.
