International Class Blogs

The first site I found was for a group of year 5 and 6 students from New Zealand. Even though school os out for the year (it's their summer) there are still some interesting things on their blog. There is a link to their teacher blog as well as a link to the classes Novel Study blog. On the Novel Study blog there are many questions pertaining to the story, and then the students post comments to answer the questions. There is even a project done with another class 1000km away that could only be done through use of blogs and wikis. To access this blog click here


The second blog I found was based in Australia. The blog has different tabs for the subjects they use the blog for, one for the tasks they are required to carry out, and links they might need. It was made to help give parents more comunication access to their childrens class as well as help keep them involved in what their teacher of dotnoseblog portrait stretched tall ways to look goofychild does is school. The class seems to have an upbeat fun environment feel shown by the name of the blog as well as the goofy photos of the teacher and students. The school year has just started so not a lot is posted but it would be nice to refer to the blog in the future to see how they have progressed. To acess this blog click here
