Education Connect is a widget/plugin that helps connect education blogs around the World. The widget is a content aggregator for educational blog articles. The aggregator takes content from the highest quality EDU blogs and presents the titles and a brief summary within the widget.

The widget has a special crawler that goes to a pre-set list of education blogs that are selected based on content quality. It then takes the title of the latest articles written by that blog and populates the widget sitting on the installer's website. Articles within the widget are then ranked based on a variety of social media factors to present only the best freshest articles.

The goal of the EDU connect widget it to help users and publishers to discover new content and readers. Our hope is to help educators discover new educational technology along with connect with other educators to share best practices.
