Could You Volunteer As A Student Blogging Challenge Commenter?

The 22nd Student Blogging Challenge is set to begin on March 3!

This is a way for students to learn about publishing online while connecting with others around the world. The challenge runs for 10 weeks every March and October.

Read more about the Student Blogging Challenge here.

Registrations for classes and students will open on February 10. Sign up for email updates if you haven’t already.

Right now, we’re looking for a team of adult volunteer commenters. Can you help?

Your role will be to comment on about five student blogs each week.

Volunteer commenters are needed for the next Student Blogging Challenge! Register here.

Note: Older students can also be commenters if they’ve participated in the Student Blogging Challenge twice or are invited by organizers. Students are welcome to get in touch if this appeals! Some students have volunteered as commenters as part of a community service project too.

New Video!

Here is a one minute video message to help spread the word about our call for commenters. Could you share it with your colleagues or PLN?

The more commenters we can get on board, the more support our participating students will receive!

  1. I am sorry to reach out to you this way, but I do not know any other way. I am muddling through trying to teach myself Edublogs for my students and the training shows your site. I already contacted Edublogs but I thought I would ask you too. I had my kids create Avatars. But how in the world did you get them to appear on the class blog page next to the list of students??? Thanks for any help you can give.

    1. Hi there,
      I see Sylvie has been able to help you out with these instructions. Thanks for reaching out!:)

    1. That’s no problem, Aaron. Feel free to spread the word about the challenge with some of the schools you work with. They might like to use Global2 to take part!
      Thanks for posting our call for commenters on your blog too.

      I love the idea of the random function. That would be really fun. I’m not sure how it works!

      Kathleen
