Who’s out there?
Something that out students really enjoy looking at on our class blogs (56js.ca and 5nt.ca) are the world maps with the little dots that show where visitors to our site are from. Nathan and I both use Feedjit to track our visitors. It is available as a free download and is easy to use. All I did was to copy the HTML code from the site and paste it into the design, widget area of the blog. It works well with edublogs. Feedjit has other formats that you can choose from. My class is still hoping to get a dot on Africa!

G’day,
I was on the Edublogger birthday post and saw your comment, so thought I would visit your blog to tell you about a student blogging challenge that will be starting in March 2009.
Students may use either a class blog or their own individual blog. There will be activities each week and they will be posted on my class blog http://wyatt67.edublogs.org
If any teachers or students are interested in registering, please do so here http://wyatt67.edublogs.org/2009/01/18/a-new-year-means-a-new-challenge/
A similar challenge was held last year and nearly 500 students from nine different countries of the world took part. These students are still blogging and running a collaborative blog at http://studentfriends.edublogs.org
