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.
