How To Become A Participant

Welcome to the 2008 Comment Challenge!

Challenging bloggers to become better blog citizens. Challenge runs from May 1 - 31, 2008.


Coordinated by Sue Waters, Silvia Tolisano, Michele Martin and Kim Cofino and sponsored by coComment and Edublogs.

We would like to challenge participants to be better blog citizens tracking who is the commenter with:

• The most comments on a wide range of blogs (not just the “top” edubloggers)
• The most high quality comments that thoughtfully reflect on the topic
• The comments that provoke and promote the most learning
• And one more - we need your input! add to the activities page please

Daily Activities

We’ll have daily tasks that need to completed and we’ll be encouraging community members to network with each other while completing these tasks.

Each day of our Comment Challenge Michele Martin will post a daily task on her blog which we need to complete (you will also find them on the activities page of the wiki). Don’t stress — we’ll make sure the tasks aren’t too hard but do challenge our thinking, writing and will aid in the process of becoming better commenters.

Tagging Posts

Recording your reflections of what you are learning and getting others to share their views is an important aspect of these types of challenge. If you don’t have a blog (yet), take a paper and a pencil and jot down bullets. If you want to start a blog you can go here to create your blog for free!

If you're blogging about this challenge it's important to tag your posts (using the tag term comment08) so that they are easily found. We have set up a technorati tag feed to bring these posts to this wiki - you can check them out on our Comment08 page of this wiki. TIP: Make sure you check out these posts on this page when you are doing completing your daily tasks as another person's post may help you and also given you greater insight into the activity.
