The Ripple Effect
learning with and from each other
Rising to the Challenge
The Student Blogging Challenge started this week and we’re all set to dive right in. Created and facilitated by Miss Wyatt, a teacher from Tasmania, this 10 week adventure is a great way to build blogging skills and make connections with students around the world. There are two challenges each year, one in September and one in March. We participated as a class in September because we had only just started our school year and we were only beginning to get our student blogs up and running. Now that it’s March, however, it’s the perfect time for all the Ripplers to participate on their own!
For Challenge 1, we have already completed many of the activities listed as part of our blog set up, so I am asking Division 2 to write a post to announce their participation and promote the Student Blogging Challenge for others. For this post you will need to include:
- First, make sure you are registered!
- Information about what the Challenge is, where it originates from, and what it entails (include a link to the first Challenge and if you include registration information, link to that as well)
- Your thoughts about what you might gain from participating in it
- A link back to your original post that explained why people should visit your blog
Make sure you have included that link to the Challenge Yourself to Blog site. It’s one of the ways Miss Wyatt knows you are participating and with hundreds of students registered, she’s not going to find you by accident!
