The weekly challenge for our blogging challenge this week is about commenting. The purpose of blogs is to connect and learn from one another. Good commenting is essential for that. But what is a good comment? Click on the prezi presentation to learn more.
If you need to know how to leave comments on my blog, watch this short video that I made.
I love reading comments and connecting with folks. So try it out. Leave me a comment!
So, the second part of the blogging challenge this week was to create or update our “about” page. I rewrote it in a more exciting and interesting way. So click up on the “About Houston Academy” link to learn more about us.
So I recently found out about a cool-sounding blogging challenge for my kiddos. It is through Edublogs. The students have weekly challenges that encourage them to learn to use a blog. They will be posting each week and also will be commenting on other students blogs. There are students and classes from twenty different countries and five different continents. I am hoping the kids really enjoy this challenge and begin to get back into their blogging.
I am also doing the challenges right along side of them. This week’s challenge was to create our avatar and then write a post about it.
So here is my new avatar. I used Bitmoji to make my avatar.
I chose to have my long hair up in a ponytail because that is how I usually wear it. I live overseas in a place where I must wear a scarf to cover my head when I go out. Ponytails are so much easier with scarves. Also, as much as I like long hair, it does begin to bug me a bit to have it hanging in my face. I chose comfy feel-good clothes because I love wearing jeans and t-shirts. I am very casual. I chose a bitmoji with a puppy dog. I have a cute Pekingese dog. She is about this color. Her name is Lightning. She just loves to cuddle and lick. She is much furrier than the dog in this picture.
Well, we are all looking forward to this challenge and all that we will learn about blogging. Stay tuned for more posts!
