Today I was notified that this blog has been listed in the top ten of the UK’s most influential education blogs by Vuelio for 2019. Now, I don’t normally pay that much attention to lists of top ten or top whatever, (they cause too much controversy!) but this list is quite interesting because of the algorithm it employs and the research that goes into deciding each year who will be in the top ten.

There are thousands of blogs dedicated to education in the UK, and many of them have great content that can inspire, inform or challenge. So it was very gratifying to see that Vuelio (a company that specialises ‘in software for public relations, public affairs and stakeholder communications professionals seeking to identify, understand and engage with the right influencers for them – whether they’re part of mainstream or emerging media, or influential within more niche, real-world networks’) had published its latest research into which education blogs in the UK are the biggest influencers, and rated mine so highly.

This blog comes in at number 4 for 2019, so I’m delighted that the metrics (visitor traffic, design, social media shares, post frequency, interactions, etc) support the many hours of effort I make each month to contribute to the knowledge of my learning community. Here’s the list for 2019 plus some of the previous listings (Congratulations to TeacherToolKit – who always seems to come top, so I suppose I must try harder!):
