Hi Vicki,
Julia Skinner here, founder of 100 Word Challenge.
You only need one blog per class. If the students are signed up to be contributors on the blog they can post & publish as individuals but on the one blog.
Once they have published their post, if it is linked to the form on 100wc.net, they will then have the chance of comments from across the world plus the opportunity of collaborating with other classes.
Does that all make sense.?
Do drop me a line at julia.skinner@theheadsoffice.co.uk

Hi Vicki,
Great ideas! You can definitely take part even if you don’t have one to one or if everyone doesn’t have a blog. A lot of teachers just have a class blog (and sometimes they only use it for 100WC). Then they publish student work on there (either all the students’ work, or handpick as you say). So it’s pretty flexible.
If you don’t want to publish online, you could still use the prompts for a traditional writing activity. The online factor just adds the benefit of an authentic audience 🙂

We are not a one-to-one school. So how can you do this if your students don’t have blogs and maybe the staff don’t have blogs. Can a teacher create a blog, and have it as class wide project, as opposed to each student. Maybe a teacher can post the day’s blog and have the students write it for homework. Then she can pick the best one and publish that on her blog. This would give students the incentive to write well so they can be picked. Really great stuff…I would love suggestions to use this writing tool without computers…

Hi there,
The students write their 100 Word pieces on a blog. When it is published, the URL of the post is linked on the form at 100wc.net
Hope that helps
Julia

I have just signed up to take part with my pupils. Do the pupils write their 100 words on our blog post comments and then we link them to the site? Or do pupils complete the 100 WC and then the teacher writes a post with their 100 words?

Just looking a little clarity.
Thanks,
Kirsten

Hey there,

Unfortunately it looks like your site is down?

Have you heard of our Student Blogging Challenge? I think you’d love it as it’s a great way to connect with other student bloggers and get an audience for your work. Unfortunately, the challenge just finished but be sure to join in the next one in March (if your parents/teacher agrees). You can find out more here http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/

Also, if you click on the page that says October 2017 students, you’ll see a list of students who have just completed the challenge. You could visit their blogs and leave a comment. You might like to tell them about your site too. Hope that helps!

Kathleen

If you don’t want to or don’t have the time I understand.

I would like to thank Kathleen for having allowed me to know 100 Word Challenge and to thank Julia for having invited me to participate.
It has been ever since a source of learning English from young students and an experience of deep joy by appreciating and commenting on young writers’ posts.
Ines
