Our Class is entering the Student Blogging Challenge and in the next few weeks will be building their own blogs to produce their work. Every week over the next few weeks there will be a blogging challenge on http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/ which the students will have to complete on their own blogs.

Here are the following activities for the first challenge:

1: Who I am online.

Are you a different person online than in real life? How do you change or not? What will I post? Write a post about being online then compare yourself to your off line real person.

2. Create your own Avatar!
Create an avatar to use on your blog when leaving comments. Here is a post including some avatar sites . To add your avatar to your blog, if using Edublogs, check here.

Like Lego figures – click here and here is a post from Brianna about her avatar
Like comics – bitstrip avatars from Birney Bulldogs
Will used toondoo to create a family avatar

3. Create an About Me Post or Page 

On your blog you also need a page or post telling us about yourself. Again you could use a variety of tools to embed on your blog. Be creative:

a) Write a poem
b) Write an A-Z paragraph eg I am an athletic, yet brainy child who decided that saving the environment is one of my future goals.
c) Create a tellegami at https://tellagami.com/
d) Create a list of things people might not know about you
