Internation school blogs



One of the international schools I found that uses blogs is that of Hangleton Junior School in Hove, Sussex, England. The students use blogs to learn more about the things that interest them. The teacher John Mills set up and afterschool club about weblogging. The children do "extra" homework, for example expanding their weblogs. Mr. Mills has noticed the children who use weblogs in school are reaching above the target level for their age. Here is the linkwhere I found the information on this school. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3804773.stm


The other school I found is located in Nova Scotia Canada. The teacher is Kathy Cassidy who teaches Grade One there at Westmount School. The students use the blog everyday and they also connect with other children in other countries. The teacher uses the blog to post everything the students do. The parents also have access to the blogs so that they can read what their child wrote about. This classroom blog was very organized and fun to look at.
