Yikes, I must be really out of it because I didn’t even realize that nominations were open for the 2006 Edublog Awards and they close tomorrow! 

So don’t waste any time, get your submissions in today! You can email in *2* nominations for each category, and YES, you can nominate the same blog for more than one category.  If you’re not sure who to vote for, here are a few suggestions of people from the Discovery Educator Network.  Please note that this is a woefully incomplete list so if you have other suggestions please add them as a comment!
