The A.T.TIPSCAST has been nominated in the category of “The Best Podcast Series” for the 2012 Edublog Awards. The podcast was a finalist (came in 5th place) for the 2011 Edublog Awards for Best Use of Audio/Video/Podcast”! This year, I wanted to “walk the talk” as it were, so I used a number of app/Web resources to try to spread the word in an effort to get people to rock the vote. These tools are also great to use with students! Below is a list of the various marketing ploys.

If you’re reading this before 11:59pm, December 9th 2012… it’s not too late to vote!

The following are a list of ways you can help:

1. Lego Star Wars Comic Builder

2. Animoto (to razz my friends at the Edceptional podcast)

3. Sock Puppets for iOS (one of which was created in collusion with my 7 yo son)

4. Pic Stitch for iOS

Oh, and our Elf on the Shelf made an appearance as well…
