Are you are student blogger wanting to connect with other student bloggers while improving your blogging skills? Or are you teacher looking for an opportunity to guide your students through the process of learning to blog?
Miss Wyatt has set up a blogging competition, starting September 22, for school students of all ages which will involve 10 weeks worth of activities, one challenge each week with some bonuses for those who want to go overboard. She is hoping each each school involved will award a small prize to the best blogger or most improved blogger in their school.
There will be weekly activities for:
- Students who have their own blog
- Students who don’t have their own blog but want to participate through commenting
- Classrooms who want to participate through their classroom blog
If you’re interested in participating you need to:
- Discuss with your teacher
- Drop past Miss Wyatt’s blog and register your details
- If you are participating as part of a classroom blog you will need to get your teacher to register your class
- Keep an eye on Miss Wyatt’s blog for the blogging challenge information and your weekly task
Please let me know, by leaving a comment on this post, if you are planning to join the student blogging competition as I would love to drop past your blog to check out your progress.

This sounds great! I am a teacher and I have my blog page set up: britt0809.edublogs.org but I cannot figure out how to simply add my students as users. The system wants to create an actual blog for them. How do I set it up to where they can just comment? Thanks!
[Reply]
Sue,
Thanks so much for advertising this competition for student bloggers. I so thoroughly enjoyed the adult version earlier this year, I felt students might also enjoy one. Notice though we are only having a challenge every week, not every day … that was hard yakka to keep up every day. If you or your readers have any good ideas of what the challenges could be, please leave a comment on my class blog.

Love the sign generator link.

Hi Sue,
I’m looking forward to participation in this Competition. Miss W has written to me, explaining every detail,and I’ve already answered her.
I’m thinking to start a class blog to gather students with no blog of their own and to set up the new school year contents and activities for my lessons of Portuguese. What do you think?
This blog would be written mainly in Portuguese, except for the networked activities that will put my students in touch with English speaking students, as it will be the case for this Students Blogging Competition.
I’d love to hear your advice on this, thank you.
Ines

@Jilian I think we discussed the answer and sorted this out by email but please let me know if you need more information.
@Miss W. These types of challenges are a lot of fun and people all gain different benefits from it. Even those that choose not to participate generally comment that they gain from the information sharing. Thanks for organising this challenge.
@Leo Had to share a link to keep everyone checking out new toys to play with. Notice that @Miss W. used an image generator for her latest post – although she was way more imaginative than me.
@inpi (Ines) I think that is an excellent idea. I’ve offered to try to help Miss W. set up a system so that the students can easy track each others progress and interact so we can add your students to another page of it.
[Reply]
Thank you, Sue.
I have already translated this post in Portuguese and I explained students that they should come here, to the original article, in order to leave their comments even if they do it in Portuguese.
I ‘ll go on translating Sue Wyatt’s posts concerning the competition. If I need help, I can ask Carla Arena to take a look.
Thank you for everything,
Ines

Hi Sue
Our class is signed up and ready to go. Thanks for the information about the competition. New ways to use our blog are always welcome.
Our class blog url is: http://annmcd.globalstudent.org.au/
Thanks! Ann

Hi Sue,
ok so I think I would like to join this however my children are aged 6 to 7 and with the greatest will in the world cannot produce in the same quantity and quality as your older bloggers. Might I suggest we have sections so primary school children are competeing on a more even playing field. Plus my children have still got over a week left of their holidays drat !
[Reply]
@Ines (Inpi) Thanks for translating the post into Portuguese and for coordinating the competition for people who speak Portuguese. I’m planning on following up the post later in the week to let everyone know about this.
@Ann McD Glad you have decided to join the competition. I’m sure your class will get lots of enjoyment.
@Mrs Cunningham Miss W. will be taking into account the differing ages of the participants and I’m sure that she will also encourage teachers to adjust the tasks to the level of their students. Perhaps you can drop past Miss W. blog and discuss with her additional sections — I’m sure she would love help in managing these aspects. Also the competition doesn’t start until 22 September which will help.
[Reply]
G’day MrsC,
If your class are the only group blogging at your school then you make the decision who is the winner in your school only. There will not be one overall winner, just school winners.
I will only be adding activities for them to try at my class blog http://wyatt67.edublogs.org . Sue Waters and I are looking at ways to keep track of those students writing comments and we will get back to all those who have registered.
So far we have classes from Australia, New Zealand, USA and Portugal participating and about 30 individual students with their own blogs. Hopefully by the middle of September, there might be some more registrations.

Hi Sue,
I am having real trouble setting up my gmail account for my class….it is more to do with the abysmal learning platform at my school ,which totally refuese to co operate with allowing all the gmail on the school site……howeveer I did set up a class wiki at http://class2writers@wikispaces.com can I use this instead of an edublogs set up? ….

@CJ Thanks for letting me know and I’ve dropped past your blog to say hi:
I’ve solved your riddle:
a poor man has it, a rich man wants it, its greater then god ,and if you eat it you’ll die
Although I confess I did get help from my friends who were much wiser than me:
Poor man has Nothing, Rich man needs Nothing, Nothing is greater than God, if you eat Nothing, you will die.
It’s good to have friends that help. Does that mean I get an A for smart thinking or an F for fail because I got help?
@Mattewe09 yes I have seen many of his films. My favorite way of relaxing is to go to the movies. Not sure which one of his movies is my favorite.
@Cody thanks for letting us know. We will just have to wait for the answer. Lets hope it happens before I have to sleep tonight.
@Kevina09 Thanks for letting me know you have joined the competition. I dropped past your blog and said hi.
