International Edublogging Women’s Day 2006
Today is March 1st. March 8th is International Women’s Day. I received an email from Josie Fraser a little over a week ago that has had been thinking ever since.

You all probably know that International Women’s day in most of the world falls on March 8th. As part of the work to raise the profile of women edubloggers and ensure that the fantastic work going on out there is recognised, I was thinking that we might form a loose think tank, in order to pool resources and share good ideas.
My first contribution is a meme, that I’ll be posting about later today (so if your quick you could actually scoop me!). I really hope that you’ll all join in and encourage all the edubloggers you know, male and female, to take part. Also - if anyone has design skills or a nice friend who has - please do contribute a banner or a logo!Many countries celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th. This year, we’d like to encourage the whole edublogging community to celebrate the women edubloggers in their lives - friends, mothers, sisters, daughters, online colleagues and co-workers. Please join in the party on this special day with at least one post about women who edublog. It might be a profile, interview, overview of their blog - or just a round up link-fest of all your favourite women edubloggers. So if you have benefited from the contribution of women who blog in, around or about education (and let’s face it - who hasn’t?), please take part in the women edubloggers blog extravaganza!
I like it! I’ve been thinking about all the women edubloggers who have made a difference in my life. Wow! The list has really grown since I started blogging about 4 years ago there wern’t too many women edubloggers. One small problem though, I could never recognize all who need to be recognized but I’m going to do my best to get to as many as time allows. I’m going to post some “celebrations” from now through March 8th.
