Her blog was able to win “Best Edtech / Resource Sharing Blog”, “Best Individual Blog”, and “Best Teacher Blog”.

She won two more awards in 2013, including “Lifetime Achievement” and “Best Teacher Blog”. In 2014 she once again won “Best Teacher Blog”. With her most recent “Best Teacher Blog.”she has won this category for three consecutive years.
Ms. Forshey explained how she continues her success.
“I believe the success comes from continually updating my blog with relevant and useful edtech tools and resources for teachers,” she said. “It’s motivating to know that the info I share is actually read by other educators and then utilized in classrooms to engage students in learning.”
Her blog is viewed daily by not only people from the United States, but by people around the world. In just the past 12 hours, people from 11 different countries have visited Ms. Forshey’s blog. These countries include the United States of America, The United Kingdom, Greece, Auckland, Australia, Sri Lanka, India, Israel, Madagascar, Pakistan, and Poland.
