We get by with a little help from our friends…
Miss Sue Wyatt teaches in Tasmania, Australia and is the heart and energy behind the Student Blogging Competition. (It’s more of a blog challenge with weekly ideas on how to read, write, and connect between student bloggers around the world, with a bit of recognition thrown in.) At last count there were over 500 students from 9 countries taking part.
Miss Wyatt has visited many of our student blogs and left comments, then wrote the post below, titled Have you visited..? She has listed just some of the things students have in common. Because she linked to your blog, many of you will notice a pingback in your blog comments. As a blogger you too will begin to notice new connections and common interests every time you read a new blog.
I am reading 100’s of posts each week and am finding out the interests of many of our students bloggers. Remember we also have some student blogs attached to class blogs. So I wonder have you visited any of these students from Canadian and New Zealand classes?

Take time to visit blogs and leave comments. Respond to bloggers who take the time to leave a note on your blog. Their name or avatar will link right back to their site.
