Challenge week 8
Part of this challenge is to make you better bloggers and commenters. Another part is to let you begin to develop a positive digital footprint in the world of technology. We hear so much in the papers and news reports about teachers and students being suspended for misusing Facebook or MySpace or leaving comments on Twitter.
Challenges week 8
- What is included in having a positive digital footprint? When should you start using your proper name and photo of yourself rather than an avatar? Who is responsible for showing you how to be internet savvy? What information do you include on profiles when you register at a website? Write a post about your own digital footprint. Give examples of where you can be found on the web.
- Look at your blog. Have you been replying back to your commenters and thus continuing the conversations? Have you got out of your comfort zone and commented on lots of other blogs written by classes and students around the world? Or are most of your comments only from class mates and your teachers? Check out the comments on this post and see where the use of threaded comments is handy when carrying on a conversation. With Edublogs, threaded comments is a plug-in for supporter blogs – remember to take part in competitions with The Edublogger and win 12 month supporter badges like Lauren, Abbey and Jessica. Write a post about your commenting habits after 8 weeks of the challenge.
- If you have only had comments from your class mates and teacher, then leave a comment on my blog and I will get back to you over the next couple of weeks.
- To get you visiting other blogs, do the following activity – Count out three. On the September participants page, click on the blog of either a student or a class. This is count out one. Now go to the blogroll of that student or class and click on a link to another person. This is count out two. Finally when on that blog, click on the link of someone in that blogroll. This is count out three. Now leave a comment on that person’s blog. Hopefully this is not a blogger you have already commented on. Try this activity at least three times.

Hey Miss Wyatt,
We are having a great time with the blogging challenge. Check out our “punked out” pumpkins for Halloween. Did your class do anything for Halloween? We had a Talent Show to say that Smart Kids Use their Talents and Not Drugs. We also got to paint pumpkins, sing Halloween carols, and tell Halloween Stories.
Thanks again for setting up the Blog Challenge!

I understood the directions, but we just could not visit such good blogs as Mrs. Yollis, Mr. Salsich, and the Pt English Scribes and not leave comments. So this is how we adapted the Count Out Three challenge #8 http://coconnections.wonecks.net/2009/10/26/count-out-three-8/ We took our “three swings” early on but we certainly did not strike out. Loved all the blogs we visited. Thanks so much for this challenge each year.

I do not agree with commenting threads that is what forums are for and that is where it should stay. Comments are simply points or opinions and not meant to be followed up on that is what a message board is for.
