I had a question recently from a teacher on how you go about including a ‘Blockquote’ in your posts. Below are some simple instructions on how to do this within WordPress.

How we created our class avatars

Student Blogging Challenge Week 2

2. As a class, put together a post, movie or slideshow including your avatars.

Miss W Student Blogging Challenge

When setting up our classroom blog, creating our personal avatars was one of the first things we did. We used ‘My Avatar Editor‘, pictured below.

As you can see it creates an avatar very familiar to most students that have used the Wii. All the students in my class were able to create their own avatar, upload and crop it independently. Below is a slide show of what we all created.

Our New Blog Avatar

MrBaldocksClassBlogWell it’s the second week of the ‘Student Blogging Challenge’ and one of this weeks challenges is to create an avatar for your blog or yourself. Creating our personal avatars was one of the first things we did when we created our classroom blog (there will be a post coming about how we went about creating our personal avatars). Creating a blog avatar was one thing that I had neglected to do. Thanks to the challenge here it is above right.

Student Blogging Challenge: Why Students and Classes should visit our blog.

Our class is taking part in the ‘Student Blogging Challenge’. Part of the challenge required us to reflect on why students and classes should visit our blog. Well I turned this over to the students. The students had to come up with some answers to the following questions and email their responses to me. This is a selection of some of the things the students came up with……..

Moon Lantern Festival

On Wednesday I went to the Moon Lantern Festival in Adelaide. I went with Lachlan Lai his Grandma , Grandpa and my Mum. We saw a lot of different lanterns. When it was getting dark, Lachlan wanted a lantern so he bought  a green one. He wanted a white one, but in China white is unlucky. At night we put on the lantern lights and ran around with Lachlans lantern, because my lantern didnt have batteries.  At night it was getting cold, so Lachlan wanted to go home, so did I. Our car was a long way away, so I had to wait for Lachlan’s Mum who worked at ANZ, but she was launching a lantern for ANZ.  I walked with them for like 10 minutes and then we reached their car and they drove us to our car. Then I got hungry, so I asked my Mum if we could go to the restaurant and we did .  My Dad cooked some soup for me and my Mum gave me some batteries for my lantern, so I could play with my lantern. Then we all went in to the bar and ate some moon cake and then we all went home.

Penguin Jump Multiplication

Up to 4 players can try to get their penguin back to the homeland first.  You can play other players online or against the computer. Players jump on the iceberg that has the correct answer to the multiplication problem. It certainly forces you to think quick, but get the wrong answer and you are in the drink!

I have added a link to this game on the ‘Students’ page as well.
