You can also do this at home with permission from your parents/guardian. If you're interested in the current size of your own digital footprint, you can download a copy of the Personal Digital Footprint Calculator. This tool walks you through a questionnaire that calculates your impact based on the responses to questions about your computer usage, email usage, digital camera/camcorder usage, web downloading habits, potential surveillance areas, and geographical information, among other things. You could then upload to the blog a screenshot of the answer.
Challenge Week 3 go to the post for more info.
Activity 1 – How do you know where your visitors are coming from? (Add Clustr Map as a widget, takes 24 hours to show who is looking)
Activity 2 – How do you read a blog written in a language other than your mother tongue? (Add Google Translator Mini)
Activity 3 – Write a post in another language (copy and paste something from Mandarin or post something in another language besides English)
Activity 4 – Write a post about a global activity you have taken part in
Activity 5 – Leave a comment on ten blogs (you need to leave a comment on the appropriate post here at the challenge, or include a link in your own post so I get a trackback or pingback.)
Each blog must be from a different country of the world. Check out the list of students and classes taking part. Remember there are actually 18 countries represented – some have only one person taking part, so you might need to check carefully. Students in the challenge
