Our new Facebook Group!
If you use Facebook and you’re participating in the Student Blogging Challenge, please join our new Facebook Group.
This is a pop-up group that will run for the duration of the challenge.
The group is only for challenge participants and is for educators. Older student participants may join if they are old enough. Remember, Facebook has age restrictions (13+ and even older in some areas) so the group is not for young students.
🌏 Ask questions
🌏 Share tips and blogs posts
🌏 Find connections for your students
🌏 Stay in the loop
This is a private group so only members can see who’s in the group and what they post
To join the group, just go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/StudentBlogging
Alternatively, search for “Student Blogging Challenge March 2020” on Facebook.
Click on “Request to join” and answer the three questions so we know you’re a challenge participant. When your request is approved, go ahead and introduce yourself!
Before the challenge begins on March 15
There are a few things you can do prior to the challenge to make sure you’re ready to go on March 15.
Check your registration
- A few days after registering, check the page with the list of participating classes. Look for “2020 Classes” in the header area of this blog. Check this list prior to March 15 to make sure you are on the list and your details are correct.
- If you are not listed on the participants’ page, register again ensuring your blog URL is correct.
Other ways to get ready
- 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.
- Try to have at least one post published on your blog so others can leave comments when they visit.
- Start visiting other classes of similar grade level on the participant list if you have time.
- Spread the word! Invite your colleagues and PLN to join in. The Twitter hashtag is #STUBC.
There will be some more reminder posts on the Student Blogging Challenge site before we begin.

Hi,
Our two opportunity Classes are really interested in taking part in the challenge. We are a public primary school in NSW.
Is Edublog an appropriate platform for participation?
(We are new to this).
Many thanks
Hi Jenny,
So glad you’re keen to take part! I think you’ll find Edublogs is a good platform to use.
