Starting today, the blogosphere is banding together in support of public education by helping to raise funds for projects submitted by teachers through DonorsChoose.
While Fortune Magazine and a lot of bloggers are going to call this a competition, I'd rather call it a community effort. We can all work together to make a difference and help students and teachers achieve important goals.
Here's how you can help.
* Blog it! The BlogHer Challenge Page is where you'll find all of the challenge pages created by BlogHer Contributing Editors and BlogHer members. Tell your readers about the challenge. Ask them to blog about it. Getting the word out about this challenge is the most important thing you can do to help.
* Consider making a donation to a project that speaks to you. We've given you a lot to choose from. Even a $1 donation helps. Ask your readers to make a donation, if they can. Some of these projects are going to expire soon and we don't want to see any project go un-funded.
* If you like, you can create your own DonorsChoose giving page, selecting projects that are really important to you or projects from areas you're specifically interested in helping. (I'll be making a page with projects from all of the US cities I've lived in!) When you create your page, you can add it to the BlogHer Challenge Page and we'll help spread the word about your projects.
* Add the BlogHer DonorsChoose widget to your blog. There are three sizes to choose from (code available here: BlogHer DonorsChoose widget)
300x250
I'm off to create that giving page I mentioned and I look forward to reading your blog posts about this challenge - and promoting your giving pages, if you make them.
