International Blogs

It took me forever to find international blogs. This blog is where students from a school in poland communitcate with a school in england. England Poland Blog.





The other blog i found belonged to a teacher in Guam. She uses it to adress terms and specific students and parents as well. Guam Blog

Ms. Kruels Blog
This teacher uses this blog to post things that her students write. The students write some paragraphs about what they are learning in class and she posts them on the blog. She also uses this blog for many other things. She posts the 4k newsletter has reminders for her students and also has a post that has websites that kids can go to. Just check out the archives page and links to see the many ways she uses her blog.


Honors Blog for 9th Grade

This blog is done by a language arts teacher. She uses it for her 9th grade honors class. It is basically for thoughts, comments, observations, and questions that students may have regarding the discussions and readings in the class. She also uses it for some instuction on homework and other projects. As you can see by clicking the link, The post on the 9th of february (today) concerns a poem the students must write using metaphors. The students must use this a lot because if you look at the post there seems to be a lot of comments and questions from students. I think this blog is a good exapmle of communication to students through blogging.

My blogging experience so far

So after three or four weeks of blogging for the first time i must say that it has caught my interest. I have enjoyed it so far and look forward to it the rest of this semester. I especially enjoy checking other the blogs of other people to see what they have to say. I check mine almost everyday to see if anyone has left any comments of some sort. You basically can say whtever you want on these blogs and people can read it whether it be about you in gerneral or about a certain subject that interests you. I have thouroughly enjoyed it so far. I can see where blogging for school could be helpful in many ways. If i had to have a blog for school i would defiantely use it to inform students of certain subjects that we could be talking about in class or use it to answer questions that some students may have while we are not in the classroom. You can think of many different things to communicate to your class by using blogs. Maybe a schedule of the week or year, list of books that may need to be read, things such as that. The only real problem that i could see with blogging is that all students will not have internet or computer access outside of school and the classroom. I am in college and i dont even have internet access at my home. I love the idea of blogging for class and school. I could definately be usin it in the future.
