It’s about to start – the student blogging challenge
It’s been nearly four months since the last student blogging challenge finished. We had students from 15 countries taking part with either their own blogs or as part of a class blog. In total over 1000 students were writing posts, making conversations through comments and getting to know students and classes around the world.
Well, 6th September 2009, the next challenge will be starting. But there is a difference. There will actually be two different challenges running at the same time. You can take part in one of them or both of them, your choice.

The first one is the BB challenge – Better Bloggers. This will be for students who are fairly new to blogging and are still setting up their blog with their avatars and widgets. They may have written a few posts and left comments on their friends’ blogs.
The second one is the BC challenge – Better Commenters. Students who have already taken part in a blogging challenge will find this more to their taste. They will be looking at how they write comments, whether they are trying to continue conversations through comments and how to write posts that invite lots of comments.
If you can’t wait until 6th September for the first challenge to be posted, then head over to “The Edublogger” where Sue Waters is running a competition where you could win one year supporter status for your blog with Edublogs. Check out one post that has already won one of the prizes. Lauren took part in our challenge earlier this year.
So have you decided to take part? Then fill in the registration form below and hit the submit button. Then keep watching this blog for the first posts on 6th September.
