A New Year means time to update the Check out Class Blogs list which has been growing since November, 2008.
About the Class Blog list
It now contains over 200 class blogs, sorted into different categories based on age, subject area and type of blog.
The list was set up so educators can check out different types of class blogs to get ideas for their own class blog while also making connections with classes in other countries.
I’ve worked through ALL the blog URLs in the comments on Calling All CLASS blogs…Please Share Your Blog URL With Us! to:
- Remove blogs that have been deleted or are no longer active (haven’t updated since Jan, 2009)
- Insert links to the new Class blog for educators who create a new blog for each school year
- Add any blogs missing from the list
The list contains amazing examples of Class blogs from around the World!
How To Add Your Class Blog To The List
As Calling All CLASS blogs…Please Share Your Blog URL With Us! post is now over 12 months old, and contains over 250 comments, I’m closing off comments on that post.
Off course I’m still happy to grow our Check out Class Blogs list — I just need to restart the list to make it manageable again 
If you want to add your class blog to this list (or update your class blog details) leave a comment on this post to share with us:
- Your Class Blog name(s) and URL(s).
- Approximate age of students and are they primary, secondary or tertiary?
- If applicable, what subject area? e.g. maths, science, language, history, English, Art, Music, ELL, ESL, & EFL
- Country
Here’s an example of the type of information needed:

Happy New Year Sue!
Thanks for updating my class blog links. The http://www.5nt.ca site has been deleted and has been replaced by the stylishly named http://www.MrToft.ca.
I have another to promote:
http://www.PortableRecorder.ca
(www.portablerecorder.edublogs.org)
This site is designed to support music in the junior level classroom (ages 9 – 11). I’ve put up 21 original and copyright free arrangements of songs for students to play recorder along to. Each song has print, audio and, some, video resources to assist. These resources are freely available to anyone who wants to use them and I’ve found a great deal of success teaching music this way.

For this school year, I set up the following blogs for my four seventh grade language arts classes:
- A class blog – loftonclass.edublogs.org – that I use primarily for communication to students and parents.
- Four class period blogs – loftonperiod1.edublogs.org, loftonperiod2.edublogs.org, loftonperiod3.edublogs.org, and loftonperiod7.edublogs.org – one for each individual language arts class, on which a different student is the “guest blogger” of the day and reports about what we have done during class that day.
- Individual blogs for each student, in which the students write on assigned topics and can also write optional postings.
The class blog has links to the four class period blogs, and the class period blogs all have links to the individual student blogs.
My students are 12-13 years old, and we are located in Agoura Hills, California, USA, near Los Angeles. To maintain maximum student privacy in the blogs, the students all have “screen names” for their user names and blog names.
I don’t edit the work on the class period blogs or individual student blogs before they publish. One of the things that I fret about is that students aren’t careful enough about proofing their work before publishing, and there are many mechanical errors in the postings. My hope is that they will learn during the year and have less errors as we practice good writing and blogging.

Always in pursuit of excellence, from Los Alamitos California, this edublog is a great addition to my paperless English classroom. I teach AP Language & Composition (juniors ages 16-17) and Modern Literature (seniors 16-18). Our blog is a virtual repository for lectures, resources, quizzes, homework study aids, and weekly updates. My students are used to coming into class and logging into their Ruby (antiquated imacs), and settling into the lesson of the day, handouts or ppnts are included in my link section with work for the day and away we go… For students absent, physically or mentally on any given day a student section called “Duly Noted” is provided; it is a student’s account of the events that took place in class on that specific day (each student is secretly assigned a “ghostwriter date” and sends in a report on their respective day-homework credit is given for work completed). Come by and visit, there is always something going on….

Hi,
I’m a Y6 Language Arts Teacher. My students are 11-12 years old. I have implemented my blog to enhance students’ learning process as they post comments and reflections. In this way, they are developing communication skills beyond the classroom walls. This blog helps them reflect upon their opinions, feelings and interests. Students comment on the posts allowing me to gain insight to how my students are feeling and thinking. I believe that teachers’ blogs model future class blogs and students’ personal blogs.

Hi Sue,
Happy New Year to everybody!
I started blogging in 2007 and I really believe in using the ICT in the ESL/EFL classrooms. In this blog my 16 years old ESO,compulsory secondary education, students and the 18 years old baccalaureate ones can find lots of links to practice listening, reading and writing in English. They can do lots of grammar exercises and it’s also the ” Home” of their courses’ blogs where they post their writings.
The aim of the blog is to improve their knowledge of the English language and their digital competence while using the Internet
The name of the blog is : “Enjoy learning English” and you can find it here:

Hello there, this is a great resource. I wish to submit my wife’s blog to your list.
The purpose of the blog is to share with the parents and population at large the activities of a kindergarten class. I don’t know about other countries, but in Portugal kindergarten teachers are not viewed by the population as “real” teachers, they are completely unaware of the pedagogical foundations and learning goals of every activity that takes place in the class. She hopes to contribute to a better understanding of the key role of the kindergarten in literacy and future learning success.

Our 6th graders have all been involved in a great persuasive writing project in their literacy classes. They wrote persuasive paragraphs about a variety of controversial topics and have posted them to blogs. One of the reasons we chose blogging as a writing platform is because it allows them to publish for a real world audience and receive feedback from the blog readers. They would love to have you (or your students) read their posts and make comments.
You can find all 7 blogs at http://east.mesa.k12.co.us/library/persuasivewritingblogs.htm
Topics addressed are:

Please add our classroom blog to your class list. Initially, I created it for my gifted classes of third to sixth grade students as a provision of challenges. It has evolved into a continuously compilation of our classroom interests, events, and projects. The Blogroll has been utilized as a central location for research/challenges throughout our class and their regular education classes. Our district technology supervisor demonstrates our classroom blog in her technology classes as an example of how a blog is being used locally. It is also used as parental communication for those with Internet access. We have included a digital photo “Around School” scavenger hunt page, photos of birds at our classroom feeders, gardening projects, and student-created birding videos for the Great Backyard Bird Count.

Please add our classroom blog to your list. I created it for my gifted classes from 3rd to 6th grades. We have many Blogroll links to challenging websites, postings/videos about our local birding and gardening projects, digital photo scavenger hunt, etc. It is also used as an example for other educators through our district’s technology classes by our technology supervisor.

This is our Primary 6 class blog (9 and 10 year olds), primarily used as a home/school link to share pupils’ work and photos with family and friends all around the globe. Topic work includes: The History of Rock and Roll, Mary Queen of Scots, Medieval Scotland, Bridge Building and writing–among other things. This is a new initiative for us, so we are learning as we go.

Hi Sue
I have just set up a blog with my Year 2 class in Brisbane, Australia. It is the first time blogging for them but I have been blogging with Year4/5 for a couple of years now.
The blog is to encourage the children to reflect on their learning, share their learning, see a purpose for their learning and realise that learning doesn’t just happen within the 4 walls of our classroom.
Thanks

Hi,
I have recently set up a blog on Edublogs and would like to be included in your class list. The name of our blog is Miss Lindgren’s Geek Speak. It is primarily used with our junior high students in my computer class. The goal is to introduce the students to blogging, impress upon them the safety and security necessary to post on the internet, and to help with one of our school improvement goals which is to improve writing skills.
Thank you!

Hi,
we have just started a new ENHANCED PROVISION blog. School children in the EP department of a mainstream Primary School present themselves to the world, just as they are: dreams, pictures, stories, opinions, comments. All the material is by the children themselves, including photos and pictures.
This is a real fun site.

Our blog is designed to highlight student learning in our Integrated Learning Lab. We are a public elementary magent school (grades PreK-5) with the magnet themes of science, mathematics, and communications. Our goal this year was to increase our use of technology to better integrate our communication strand into our science and math strands.
I am the resrouce teacher in the iLab and a blog newbie. So far, I have created pages for every grade level and for special programs throughout our school. I’m hoping to move towards a more interactive experience as I become more familiar with all of the options possible. I really enjoy perusing other elementary blogs to get ideas – thanks for this forum.

Hi Sue!
As always thanks for all your instructions..so nice. We are still learning and I hope you can help me on the following issues:
Can I participate on the blog challenge? is this open to all countries? Do I need to add something special to my blog besides your weekly guidelines?
I wonder, if you can advice me on where to post an invitation for everybody to visit our blog and participate on a project related on how kids around the world spend their leisure time. I added a poll and I think it will be interesting to know what other kids do and how they can make the most of their free time.
Thanks a lot!!

@angliakids, Hi Ana – glad the instructions have been helping you!
Definitely! The Student blog challenge is open to any one, from any country, using any blogging platform. How the Student blogging challenge came about was that Sue Wyatt participated in our Comment Challenge a few years ago. She recognised the value of adapting tasks to support educators while they blog with their students.
This is the first time we’ve done weekly tasks prior to the Challenge but from experience we know teachers who organise all those aspects will be better prepared for the Challenge.
For the poll I recommend you write a blog post and then give me the link so I can tweet from the Edublogs Twitter account.

Hi there!
I have a Grade 2 class (primary level) this year at Leopold Primary School in Geelong, Australia. They are 7/8 year year olds. I have loved introducing them to the blogging world! They are so keen and interested and love sharing the blog with their families. We are only 3 weeks into our school year but I would love to build a global audience through our blog. I team teach with Kathleen McGeady who you often feature here on your site, she has been a great support in helping me develop my blogging skills. Our blog will cover all curriculum areas, particularly Literacy and Numeracy, and also our Integrated topics (which this term is Food).
Our blog is titled 2KJ at Leopold Primary School and the URL is…

Hi!
We are a Grade 6 class at Secret Harbour Primary School in Western Australia. Students in our class are 10 and 11 years old, and very keen to get started learning about the world of blogging! As we’re also just starting a new school year its been a slow beginning, but students have checked out the blog, practiced with a few comments and we’ve even had family members interacting with our class through the blog already!
Our blog is called ‘Room 17 – Blogs Away!’ and the URL is http://mrsturvey.edublogs.org

Hi again,
Based on my enthusiasm for starting a class blog this year I have pioneered a “media team” for my whole primary school. This is a team of 13 students who are each responsible for blogging on behalf of one of the primary classes on a “Primary Media Blog”. (As I’m the only teacher blogging with my class at this stage, it gives parents of all students an opportunity to see into their child’s world from a different perspective).
The students who are contributing are from Grade 5 and 6 from our primary school in Tasmania, Australia.

@Tameika, I really like the idea of your media team. Excellent idea!
Please keep us updated with their journey and perhaps one day some of the students might like to do a guest post on The Edublogger about how it is helping both them and the school?

@Sue Waters,
Thanks Sue,
I will be glad to take you up on this in a couple of months.
The team come out of class once a week to give them time to blog on behalf of their class, and we are into our third session this week. –
I think the momentum is there, however, as I’ve been asked to run a PL session with our High School Staff about my blogging projects. (Basically stumbling through the dark actually) – but learning constantly.
