International Blogging

The first site i found out of the US is set up almost like the USA online courses are. The teacher, Mrs. Robertson in Ontario, gives her class reading assignments and has them respond to the reading and answer questions one the blog so that they can interact with other students. This also helps with students that are shy because they can say what they want without having to speak in front of the whole class. this is the link to her site but I don't think that she has a picture of her class on it.





The second site I found was a teacher from New Zealand who has her 2-3rd grade students on blogger, and it is amazing what she has done. She taught her 6 and 7 year olds how to make a video on blogger and publish it. Also, each of the students have their own blog and a link to it. This site is really fun and it is also interesting to see how creative the kids were with their videos. cool stuff This is a picture of a student looking at how many visitors their class blog has from around the world. They have a map on the site too that you can put your location on so they know where you are from.

Teachers Using Blogs in US

The first site I found is by a fifth grade teacher named Gordon Brune. His home page has a picture of the class, and links to all of the students in his classroom. There are also links to helpful sites for students such as scholastic news and time for kids. In addition to research and news he also uses the site as a journal for the students. The coolest entry is the letters the students write to themselves when they are seniors. I think this would be a really neat activity to do, plus when you open it as a senior you can see how much you have changed as a person. This is the link to his site, it's neat you should check it out. click here!


The second site i found that uses blogging in the classroom was Mr. C's class in Missouri. I really like his site and all the things he has on it. There are videos to encourage students to do their math and to inform them about other things. The link he has to dictionary.com would be really useful to students. He also has a link for every student's individual blog and a class calendar with due dates posted. I think this is a good idea for when students miss class because they can still continue with their work at home online. check it out!
