International Blogging!

The first international classroom I found using blogs in the classroom would be a class from Australia. The teacher, Mrs. P, calls her site ALL STARS and it's for all her year 4 and 5 students (from what I can gather, it seems to be the equivalent to American middle school). This teacher uses her blog site to keep everyone informed on what is going on in the classroom. The new school year just started for them in January, so there isn't much up for this year. She has links set up for each student's personal blog and some interesting site to visit. The picture I have up is the only picture that showed some aspect of the classroom. I could not find a bio or a picture of the teacher. I could not even find out the name of the school, all I know is that they are located in Australia. Here is a link to their website http://allstars.edublogs.org/.

The other international classroom blog site I found was Mrs. Kelso's "The Almighty Bloggers", a classroom for 11 and 12 year olds located in Auckland, New Zealand. The first thing I noticed on this blog were the pictures posted of the class learning how to sail! (I have to admit that I am jealous!) There are a couple other posts containing information about various things and an interesting way to multiply. There, of course, if a list of the students and their blogs. There is also a link to some "related sites" but that's about all for this site. There was also no bio or information on the teacher. The picture I have is from the class learning how to sail, and a link to this blog is http://www.classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=71175.
