Calling All CLASS blogs…Please Share Your Blog URL With Us!

Modified on by

Image of a light bulbWhen setting up a new blog it’s always handy check out other people’s blogs for ideas.

So I’ve been thinking it would be really helpful to everyone, especially new educators, if we had a page on The Edublogger for links to class blogs called Check out Class Blogs. The list could also be helpful for people wanting to create connections with classrooms in other countries.

So I was wondering if you could help me? Do you have a class blog or are able to recommend some class blogs?

Can you please share with us:

  1. Blog name(s) and URL(s).
  2. Approximate age of students and are they primary, secondary or tertiary?
  3. If applicable, what subject area? e.g. maths, science, language, history, English, Art, Music, ELL, ESL, & EFL
  4. Country

Thanks to Sue Tapp for reminding me that this task was on my to-do list!

About Sue Waters

I work as an aquaculture lecturer at the WA Maritime Training Centre, Challenger TAFE in Western Australia. I have been working with a range of mobile technologies with students since late 2005. The purpose of my blog, podcast and wiki site is to document my learning journey with mobile and Web 2.0 technology so that I can share my experiences with other lecturers. My main focus is how these technologies can be used practically to benefit lecturers and students.

  8. http://xworch.edublogs.org

    This is the blog of the Crosswinds Arts and Science School Orchestra program, serving grades 6-10 in Woodbury Minnesota. I maintain the main blog, posting info for all students and parents, and there are links to student-maintained blogs, where they report their practice information, reflections, and any other musical interests that they wish to write about.

  9. I have recently created a second blog for my school library and I thought that I would share it here!

    It’s name is Book Bits and is located at http://bookbits.edublogs.org.

    It was created to promote reading and reading-related activities among my older primary students (3rd, 4th and 5th grades) because some of them were jealous of the older students’ blogging on my other site, which I created almost 2 years ago (http://lgeslibrary.edublogs.org). I plan to focus on including student responses to literature and already have some book videos created by 4th graders posted!

    Our school is located in Kentucky, USA. Please come visit!

  10. I use this blog to connect all my students blogs and also to give them tasks each week. They are K12 students and I certainly will miss them when they graduate this spring.

  13. Sue,
    Here is a link to “Mrs. Yollis’ Classroom Blog”.

    http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/

    We are a third grade classroom (age 8/9) and the posts are written by the class as a whole or by small groups or individuals. Students write about what they are learning in Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Math. We also have travel posts, tutorials, videos, and songs.

    We live in California, U.S.A.
    Thanks for including us! :-)

  14. Hi, I teach year three and four (grade 2 and 3). Our blog is named The Wocket Spot, after our class name ‘The Wockets of Room Five’. (From Dr. Seuss’ ‘There’s a Wocket in my Pocket.

    My school is Russell Street School, Palmerston North, New Zealand.

    http://thewocketspot.edublogs.org/

    The main reason I started this blog was to create an alternative home-school link for the parents to see what is going on in the classroom.

    Thanks

  22. Hi,

    I have been setting up a blog for our Preps at Parkhill Primary School, Melbourne, Australia.

    It is a work in progress! I have thought long and hard about how best to utilise a blog in a Prep Classroom. So here I am ready to go in term 3!

    I hope it will be a great home school link for our Preps.

    Thank you,

  25. Our blog is about our class, Senior 7, a Grades 5/6 composite class in Victoria, Australia.
    We use our Netbooks to incorporate lots of great ICT learning into our everyday learning tasks.
    We are using our blog more and more, in addition to our wiki.
    Let us know what you think!!!

  26. Hi, my Year 5/6 class (in Victoria, Australia) and I are reasonably new to blogging, and we would love to extend the audience for our blogs beyond our classroom walls. Please visit our blogs (student blogs are linked to the class blog) and feel free to add comments. Likewise, we would love to read other student blogs, and be able to post comments on them!

  32. We are a class of fourth grade bloggers in New Hampshire. On our family blog, we publish class news for all the families and friends of our class.

    http://www.missblessings.edublogs.org

    We also have a blog for each student, and the students publish their writing all year long. We use the Six Traits rubrics to write comments to other fourth graders in our district about our writing, but we are looking for other classes to join us! Would your class be interested in commenting and receiving comments on writing pieces? We are located in a gorgeous rural area, and we are interested in “seeing” more of the world through our blogging. We would love to hear from you.
