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.

  1. A few days after registering, check the student participants’ page. Click here or look for 2018 Students in the header area of this blog. Check this list prior to October 7 to make sure you are on the list and your details are correct.
  2. If you are not listed on the participants’ page, register again being careful that your blog URL is correct.
  3. If you are on the participants’ list, start visiting other student blogs if you have time. You might choose to visit students who are a similar age to you or who share similar interests.
  4. Consider starting the Blogging Bootcamp self-paced course if you’re new to blogging and need to get your blog set up before beginning.
  5. Make sure you have a few posts published on your blog so others can leave comments when they visit.
  6. Spread the word! For students/classes that use Twitter, the hashtag is #STUBC.

      Hi there,

      You can check out the spreadsheet on this page and see if your name is listed there. Tip: Use Control F (or Command F) to bring up a search box to look for your name. If you’re not there, you’ll need to register using the registration form https://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/2018/09/04/oct-2018-students/

      The Student Blogging Challenge isn’t a contest — just a way to learn about blogging and make global connections 🙂

      thanks I appreciate that

    Hello, I see that some of my students are in pink on the list. Their Blog URL is correct, so I’m guessing that it must be their settings. However, because we have the free edublogs account, I don’t seem to have a way to change their view settings. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

      Hi there!

      Those student blogs are password protected so users who aren’t logged in can’t visit them. Don’t worry, you can still change those settings on free blogs. 🙂
      On the left-hand side of your class blog dashboard, go to My Class > Settings. Then under privacy settings, click on ‘discourage search engines from indexing this site’.

      Let’s know how you go!

      hi

    Can you participate and use Google Sites? I’ve always used Edublogs but now that I’m a teacher-leader, I know that most our teachers are using Google Sites/

    1. Kathleen Morris

      Hi Aletha,
      You’re welcome to join in using any platforms. The only thing is, our specific ‘how-to’ instructions will refer to Edublogs so you’ll just have to adjust as needed.
      Hope to have you on board!
