Great way to disable ads
Well I have just been signing up more students, in classes that I teach, to the Edublogs platform. But as they won’t be supporters, this means they will have ads appearing on their blogs.
How can I get rid of these ads?
Write some posts celebrating Sue Waters’ achievement of one year editing the Edublogger. Hopefully I might win one, or if I am extremely lucky two, free 12 month supporter subscriptions, then I can disable ads on more student blogs.
Check out first what the competition has already written about … notice many of the students from last year’s blogging challenge have written about their favourite widgets, and how to write great comments and how to build your audience. So to make my chances of winning better, I will leave out those topics. (Also gives the students a great chance to win – I love reading their posts from last year ….)
OK – what to choose now!! I could write about these topics:
Tips for using blogs with students
Ideas for getting educators involved with using web technology
Advice on setting up or using class blogs
Tips for connecting with other classrooms
Images generators (e.g. sign generators, newspaper generators), avatars, online graph tools etc that you can use with students
Just sent a twitter message to Sue – can I use a post I have already written eg avatars, using blogs with students or do I have to write a totally new post for the competition? I suppose it would be cheating to use one I had already written but then blogging is all about linking to posts to make the conversation move along so maybe it is really being efficient to use a pre written post.
