The 5th through 8th graders have been participating in the global Student Blogging Challenge. This is the 10th blogging challenge. Each challenge has had hundreds of students and classrooms participating from countries all across the world. Weekly tasks are posted that are designed to improve students blogging and commenting skills while connecting students with a global audience. Additional ideas are also listed in the weekly posts; things that help students improve their blogs. Each Sunday a new challenge is posted. By Monday, I have it posted to our Student Blogging Challenge Website. The ECA students are beginning to become more comfortable with how to post in Weebly, the website platform that we use. Here you can see the list of the many of our student’s blogs. Some of the skills we are working on include: · Writing a post that follows the directions of the challenge · Formatting the post: adding pictures and editing the post · Designing the blog and webpage so it is visually appealing · Adding details like “About the Author” info, html code for badges and other web application extras · Learning how to comment in a constructive way Blogging still feels new for many of the students, but it seems like they are enjoying the challenge more as they become comfortable and confident in their blogging skills. |
