Before the challenge begins on October 7
There are a few things you can do prior to the challenge to make sure you’re ready to go on October 7.

- If you are not listed on the participants’ page, register again being careful that your blog URL is correct.
- If you are on the participants’ list, start visiting other classes of similar grade level if you have time.
- Check out the family information note and consider whether this would be useful to give to your students’ families.
- Consider starting the Edublogs Blogging With Students self-paced course if you’re new to blogging and need to get your blog set up before beginning.
- Make sure you have a few posts published on your blog so others can leave comments when they visit.

I have a student who is a limited English speaker; he speaks Spanish, and I would like to connect him to Spanish speaking bloggers. Is there a way I can find bloggers for him to connect with?
Hi Michelle,
I think there are some classes with some Spanish speakers. I could ask people in the email on Sunday and ask them to reply to you here if they’d like to connnect. Would that work for you? How old is your student?
Kathleen,
Thank you! That would be great! He is 13 years old. I look forward to finding some students he can connect with.
Michelle
