Student Blogging Challenge, Week 7

The activities this week in the Student Blogging Challenge are all about creativity.  Below are some of the possible tasks to choose from:

Activity 1 – Visit at least three different creativity sites  and write a post about what you did on the site or write a review of the site(s).  Remember to include a screen shot and/or link to your creative masterpiece (s).

Activity 2 – Find a website where you can collaborate with another student from a different country – you might be able to create a story together or something else more creative.

Activity 3 – Make sure you have lots of links to other students and classes on your blogroll. If on weebly,  maybe create a post with at least ten links of other students around the world. You are going to need this for a game next week.

Activity 4 – Write a post about creativity and how you are creative in your life. If possible display your creativity eg photography, video, music. Check out this blog by chillibasket in Ireland. He is showing his creativity each week with the photos he has taken.

If you still have time, visit lots of blogs of other students around the world. Leave comments on their posts and make sure you include a link to your blog so they can return the favour and visit your blog to leave a comment.
