Learn To Blog With Students With Our Updated Course!

For many years, our Teacher Challenge series of self-paced courses have been a valuable way for educators and students to learn about blogging and edtech.

While our friends in the Northern Hemisphere have been enjoying summer over the past few months, we’ve been busy updating a number of resources to help our community learn and grow.

All our professional learning opportunities are free and open to anyone and everyone!

There have been some exciting updates and makeovers which we’ll break down for you in the coming weeks.

Here’s an overview of our key professional learning opportunities for teachers and students.

Currently, we have three professional development opportunities on our Teacher Challenge site with more to be added in future.

For students, there has been an exciting change, with the supported bi-annual Student Blogging Challenge and the self-paced Blogging Bootcamp coming together on the Student Blogging Challenge website.
