Here are the most popular posts for this month.   These are the ones that have been most “clicked-on,” and are different from my Websites Of The Month. Those are the posts that I personally think are the best and most helpful.

Because of the popularity of my “The Best…” lists, it should be pointed out that often the most clicked-on posts are not necessarily ones that I wrote that month. Instead, they might have been written earlier, but then one of these older ones has just been highlighted elsewhere and all of a sudden become popular.

Regular readers know that I write a post at the end of each month highlighting the ten posts I think are the most useful that have been published in the previous thirty days. You can find these at Websites Of The Month.

Later this month, I’m also going to add another feature where I list the ten most popular posts — the ones that visitors to this blog have “clicked-on” the most.

In preparation for this new monthly feature, I thought I would list the ten most popular posts since this blog began nineteen months ago.  In addition, since all the most popular posts are “The Best…” lists, I decided in this nineteen month summary to also list the ten most popular posts that weren’t “The Best…” lists.

I’ve placed a link at the top of the screen where readers will be able access all the monthly “Most Popular Post” reports.

Here are ten most popular posts — all “The Best…” lists:

1. The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education — 2007

2. The Best Online Learning Games — 2007

3. The Best Websites To Help Beginning Readers

4. The Best Internet Sites For English Language Learners — 2007

7. The Best Web 2.0 Applications for ESL/EFL Learners — 2007

8. The Best Online Learning Games — 2008

9. The Best Websites For Beginning Older Readers

10. The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education — 2008

And now for the ten most popular posts that were not “The Best…” lists:

1. Create A Medieval Tapestry

2. Poptropica

3. When A “Good” Class Goes “Bad” (And Back To “Good” Again!)
