Welcome to the competition
It is now under way.
We have students from many countries of the world beginning conversations and making friends. Students from Portugal who are improving their English skills, English speaking students learning how to translate from other languages, teachers learning and being stumped by riddles and challenges.
I would like to thank you all for joining in this competition for 2008. I hope your blogging improves over the next ten weeks and that you make many friends to chat with over the rest of your school life and maybe beyond.
Feel free to ask me any questions here at this post, but if you see something interesting on a student’s post, then ask them as part of the conversation. The Aussie students should be back at school soon, but our New Zealand friends have just gone on holidays.
Over the ten week period, try and visit all the blogs, even if you don’t leave a comment at all of them. You will always pick up interesting bits of information just from reading another person’s blog.
The majority of students taking part are aged 11-13. Some links I mention in posts will have age minimums, so please be ethical and responsible when choosing which sites to visit and which widgets you can download.
Reminder: Use stubc08 on any posts or comments relating to this competition.

Hi there,
Unfortunatly after many hours of attempting to create Gmail accounts, I have been informed by my local area tech guy that my schools learning platform does not support this. It will be updated but no one knows when. I did not want my children to miss out on this wonderful opportunity so I have created a whole school blog for them to comment on I hope this is the right place to enter
Our address is below we are running late on this so my apologies Mrs Wyatt
