Need a challenge for November?
BLOGGING (See next section for MICRO-BLOGGING)
I’m not sure if National Blog Post Month is official, but I signed up here. I’ve seen #nablowrimo and #nablopomo tags, so the challenge is on for me at #nablowrimo. However, the prompts suggested for most bloggers are not ones that meet my focus. So, if you are an educator who wants a challenge for November — not a word count, but a post count of “30 blog posts and 15 comments,” here are some possible prompts for the month of November.
Their purpose is to engage the total educator, not just the classroom person, but the day-to-day thoughts and actions of who we are. They are often general to allow for your interpretation. So perhaps a new tag is in order: National Blog Post Month Educator #nablopomoed
Here are suggested prompts — just post 3o times/ comment 15 times:
1: Why I accepted the challenge
2: Write a response to a blog you read today
3: Write a few suggestions for prompts for educators (link to your post as a comment below for others)

MICRO-BLOGGING UPDATE
My PLN friend @tracywatanabee asks:
“Any ideas of how to modify for me? I can’t do a post a day.”
Two suggestions:
1: “Modify: Count the posts you write! You don’t have to do the prompts 🙂 Do you post something each day? Use that!”
2: Be a micro-blogger on Twitter . Just write 30 original tweets (use the prompts or your own ideas) and reply in a conversation 15 times. 30 + 15 = 45
