Challenge 6

Posted by Miss W. on Tuesday, November 2nd 2010   3 Comments   

There are only a couple of challenges this week, as we still have classes catching up. I am also putting together our school yearbook and it is now time to be writing reports.
1. The Game: Those who have taken part in a challenge before know the game of  ‘Count Out Three’. Here are the instructions:

• click on a blog on the student list – count one
• now click on a blog from their blogroll – count two
• finally click on a blog from that blogroll – count three

Leave a comment on an interesting post at this blog.
Do this activity at least three times and finally, write your own post saying which blogs you visited and what posts you left a comment on. Why did you choose that post? Remember to include a link back to the post you left a comment on so that student gets a pingback or trackback.

I wonder...

We got this idea from Miss Rodda’s Prep/One/Two blog and 2KM @ Leopold Primary School!.
Look at this picture of Hindus celebrating a festival in Mumbai and use your imagination and creativity to think of some questions beginning with I wonder...

Learning HTML

We are learning how to use HTML and what better way to do this than to add a post about it.

Why should people visit our blog?

We are very excited about using blogs in our classroom. Though this is a new experience for us we are trying hard to understand what makes a blog stimulating for our readers, as well as learning proper blog etiquette. We hope to share with you many exciting challenges and learning experiences as we extend our use of ICT in the classroom. We have also started a Twitter page @parktone5_6 and joined the Student Blogging Challenge. Why do you think people should visit our blog?
Challenge 1 - Sept 2010
