Week 8 Blogging Challenge

I think it is a timely reminder about what a good blog post needs.  Have a read of this poster:

Task 2: Audit Your Blog 

Option One: Write a post on your blog reflecting on your participation in the challenge.

These are the sorts of prompts you could answer in your post:

  • How many weeks of the challenge did you participate in?
  • How many posts did you write in the 8 week period?
  • How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers, or other visitors?
  • Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?
  • Which web tools did you use to show creativity on your blog?
  • What are your plans for your blog now? Will you keep posting?

Option Two: Ask a friend or family member who might not have read your blog to do an audit.

Send them your blog URL and ask them some questions.
For example:

  1. What were your first impressions of my blog?
  2. What captured your attention?
  3. What distracted you on the blog?
  4. What suggestions can you give me to improve my blog?

Task 3: Your Blogging Plans

While the Student Blogging Challenge is coming to an end, we hope this is not the end of your blogging journey. We encourage you to keep blogging and connecting. To do this well, you might need a plan.

Write a post about how you plan to keep blogging:

  • Perhaps you’d like to publish a list of ideas you have for future blog post topics.
  • Or, you could ask your readers for suggestions on what they’d like you to write about on your blog. You could even run a poll.
  • Write about anyone you have connected with throughout the challenge that you’d like to stay in touch with. Are there any blogs you’ll keep reading and commenting on?
