Student Blogging Challenge Starts Now…

 

Student Blogging Challeng Tag

Around the World in 10 Weeks…

There are just 10 weeks of school remaining! In those 10 weeks, Mrs. Rombach has plenty of excitement planned, including introducing the 2014 Student Blogging Challenge from Edublogs.org. This global blogging challenge allows teachers to connect with teachers and students to connect with students–from across the country and around the world. With just a keyboard and a few clicks, you can span the oceans and say hello to kids in places like Melbourne, Bangladesh, Michigan, or British Columbia. In fact, Mrs. Rombach has volunteered to be a blogging mentor for a group of students aged 10-12. How cool is that!

We’ll be participating in the challenge through this class blog, but you also have the option to join this challenge as an individual student. This activity is completely optional. If you’d like to participate, please leave me a comment here, and I’ll follow up with you on Monday or Tuesday. As a participant of the Student Blogging Challenge, you’ll be expected to meet weekly challenges, such as adding a widget or visiting another student’s blog. In return, your number of visitors will jump considerably. To find out more, click on the yellow and green Student Blogging Challenge badge above.

To begin my part of the challenge, I’ve added more blogging friends to our blogroll, inserted a Google translator, and left messages on several other teachers’ blogs. Click on one of the class blog links (under Blogging Friends), check out the class or student blogs, and be sure to leave a comment with your URL (which encourages an easy return visit). In my 30 minutes of worldly blog travel, I found a pile of blog tools I’ll be sharing with you in the next couple of weeks. Very quickly, you’ll discover all that you have in common with planet Earth’s young residents–and celebrate your differences, too. Remember, leave a comment if you’re interested in rising to this blogging challenge. 🙂

 

 

Now, for our blog question of the week:

Where in the world do you most want

to travel and why?
