This post is for the final challenge of the March 2011 Student Blogging Challenge.
Registration: Is two weeks early enough for registration to begin before the first challenge?
Two weeks was enough time for me and I think two or three weeks should be enough.
Subscription: Did you subscribe by RSS or email in order to get the posts as soon as they were published?
No, I just looked on the blog.
Student and class pages: How useful are these pages in the header of the blogging challenge?
I found them quite useful, and for homework in our class we had to pick a class blog to comment on off the class page.
The challenges:
Did you visit the actual challenge on the blog each week or did your teacher have a post on your class blog?
My teacher put a post on our blog linking to the blogging challenge blog.
Which challenges were the most useful?
The challenges that were the most useful are the ones that I had use a new tool or something that I hadn’t used before.
Which challenges were the most interesting?
Same as above
Are more tutorial type challenges needed? eg how to make a link in your post
No, but you could find a post on the edublogger blog to help because it is just full of tutorials.
Were the ‘Visit these’ posts useful?
Yes, they were especially if get stuck on a challenge
Were the challenges where you had to embed ie polls, cartoons, wallwisher etc interesting or could you not embed due to being a free Edublogs blog or a blogging platform that didn’t allow embedding?
They were very interesting, I especially like using xtranormal and avairy.
Were there enough chances to visit blogs from overseas and make links with other students/classes?
Yes there was hundred of chances to visit overseas blogs.
In my opinion I think the blogging challenge is a great Idea, and the wide selction is good so you can pick the one you want to do the most.

Great review of the blogging challenge, as you are one of the few in the class who completed most of the challenges, congratulations.
I wonder how many other students would go to the trouble of visiting Edublogs to learn how to do something. You are a true independent learner. (There is a hitch in that line in the post, words have run together, they need a tweak!)
Congratualations – you are a star. 🙂

Teegan:
great evaluations of the Student Blogs Challenge.
I like the way you suggested that new or interesting things that were challenging helped you learn the skills, values and attitudes.
Think a bit more about the difference between “useful” and “interesting”.
tegan your blog is like the best ever but could have a look at my blog at
