Well, here is the information regarding getting into a blogging/blog commenting competition that is being organized by two teachers from Tasmania, Australia!
The competition involves making your own blog, or commenting on the blogs of other kids from around the world. The kids are students from Australia, the United States, Canada, Europe, and more!
Imagine, you would be communicating with a student who lives almost 10,000 miles away! As I write this at 5:50 PM, Friday, those students are probably asleep because it is coming up on 8:00 AM, tomorrow! They are 14 hours ahead.
So, this is an educational blog. It is safe. I have checked it out and been in touch with the teachers myself. You are not required to give any personal information. Just make up an online name, give your grade level, and where it asks you for a class blog URL (universal resource locator–which is the address for websites), give http://mrmadden.edublogs.org
Then, you get to be part of an international blogging competition that is, for many of you, a sneak peek into your future! Remember, as technology becomes more evolved, the world gets smaller.
So, if you are at least a little bit curious, read Miss Wyatt’s comment on MadWords Then below, and click on the link.
Let me know how it goes, and ask me for assistance, let me know about any problems or concerns you may think of, okay?
Give blogging a chance.
Miss W.G’day from Tasmania, Australia. I noticed a couple of you thought taking part in the blogging competition might be fun. Well if you want to join about 70 other students and 8 classes from Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Portugal, then come and register.
