“Ta Muchly” Awards 2008
CLICK IMAGE TO READ (and avoid the dreaded WALLY)
Everyones getting into the warm fuzzies what with Crunchies and Eddies and way too much Christmas cheer me thinks, so I say jump on the band wagon and get myself a piece of it. Award fever that is.
My mush (sic) awaited, eagerly anticipated, long heralded (all lies) “Ta Muchly” Awards have been fascistitly (sic too) nominated and decided on by an esteemed selection panel of one, me.
To collect your Ta Muchly08 you simply recognise yourself on my Netvibes PLN screenshot above, give yourself a pay rise, leave a PF irreverent (or just fun knee) comment below and you’re a winner. Simple hey?
Viral it and spread the word through your channels because there is a catch.
Last blogger to comment gets the Wally Gong, the Most Disconnected Tortoose (sic again) award 2008. No one wants to be last weeks news in the esteemed eyes of the blogeratti. Comments accepted up to and including last mail on 31st December 2008 so get working boys and girls.
If you’re a friendly compassionate type of blogger you’ll tip off your friends, if not lets wait and see who will be last person in. I always did like the movie It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, now we have an Aussie equivalent in a race to claim a non existent silly prize, just for the heck of it. Lets see who is game to play.
A happy and safe Christmas to all
and very very seriously Ta Muchly.
Now for the slightly less silly disclaimer.
The above list are the bloggers (read real, dedicated teachers & learners, not just some online chat show) who have helped me grow professionally, both willingly on a regular basis or from afar without consciously knowing it, these last 6 months.
I jumped in blindly, wildly into the great mudpit that is the semantic/read/write web2.0 world of learning last May, almost drowned a few times, got down and dirty with the fellow mud chuckers and generally had an all round blast learning new stuff.
For the great unwashed, this place is a fantastic place to reflect, share, connect and learn. I’ve learnt plenty with heaps to go in 2009. Bring on SL and Jokaydia, I think I’m ready, Thank God You’re Here style.
Now schools out, for the Aussies at least, lets finish the year with some fun.

Heya Tony – Pay rise sounds good, wonder if my hubby will let me spend more money? Always happy to help others.
There is no way I want to win the Wally Gong so I’m definitely going to make sure I write my comment. Can we have a bet on who does win the Wally Gong? Not sure if I want to warn them by spreading the message but maybe I will
Lets bring on 2009!
Thanks Sue
TaMuchly 1 2008 goes to you.
I’ll have to arrange a first in best dressed award now, gee that was quick.
Really do appreciate the offers of help from you and many others. From being a technophobe to now feeling almost ready for SL in 6 months is my reflectiion of how this world is going to impact education.
I too am wondering if I word up others to avoid the dreaded Wally? All the best for Christmas, go ahead and spend that payrise, do it for the nation Sue.
No it is too much fun to see if they get the Wally. Tell you what I will do – I will twitter you post warning them and then it is up to them to drop past and check. I would have seen your post as I read your blog although not sure if I would have click on the image… SO I will warn them to click.
Could be interesting in SL. My Macbook has a new hard drive and I need to reinstall SL if I want to go in. Meanwhile I haven’t got any clothes to wear
I shall definitely spend the pay rise just not sure what I would buy.
‘Tis the Silly Season. Hooray!
Your blog has restored my confidence. The gurgling aquifer of absurdity has burst to the surface of the educational landscape to banish dry debate and nourish the inner clown. Thank you!
Phil and Vyt
“Ta Muchlies” 2 and 3 go to you two fine specimans
Thanks for joining in the festive silly season, avoid the dry, long live the absurd.
No one wants to be the Wally 08
Tony
Woot – you gotta love Wordpress Trackbacks! From Wollongong I am – but not (phew) a Wally Gonger! Thanks for the giggle… and seeya at jokaydia on Sunday!
FYI – for anyone who wants to practice a little before the big event (and get help with their virtual hair) we’ll be having a Friday evening meetup – more info on the jokaydia blog shortly.
Tony – just getting final days of work out of the way – and back to this- flattered to be sitting in such company! a few people drew my attention to it- obviously your tapping into a seem out there. Thanks for your generous comments – hope this hasn’t earned a Wally-
always enjoy your open commentaries (something we need more of in DET)

Thanks for dropping by to my highly esteemed ‘Ta Muchlies08″. You guys get “TaMuchlies 3, 4 & 5″ respectively. A sense of frivolity, or irreverent piss taking, is essentially Aussie.
I really do appreciate the help your blog posts have been this year. They are great brain food and have for the first time since starting in this noble profession in 1986, actually made me keen to get back to the next year of teaching and apply new ideas.
Summer Hols will be fanbloodytastic and 2009 will be better.
Well done, you both avoided the dreaded “Who’s Wally?”
