Thanks for the comments; much appreciated.
Remember, though, that this list was meant to be nothing more than what the headline implies: Edublogs We Love. I wouldn’t read any dark jingoism into the selections. We solicited input from many people on their favorite blogs, and these were the ones most often cited. It also isn't a ranking, as one reader implies. It's just, well, blogs we love. Take it at that.
But I'd say that the primary reason international blogs didn't pop up was that, frankly, we can’t fairly judge blogs whose language we don’t understand. There may be some excellent Chinese, French, Italian, Czech, Spanish, Japanese, etc. edublogs, and - if so - please tell us about them. Sounds like you all have some ideas. We can include them in our international issue (best ideas from educational communities around the world) which will come out in February. Meanwhile, thanks for the reminder that we need to look past our own borders.
