Our Class Blog List Has Been Updated — Is Your Class Blog on The List?

Modified on by

Look at this!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  • Remove blogs that have been deleted or are no longer active (haven’t updated since Jan, 2009)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 8-)

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:

  1. Your Class Blog name(s) and URL(s).
  2. Approximate age of students and are they primary, secondary or tertiary?

  8. Hi,
    We are two year 6 classes in Western Australia. We are taking part in a masters study, to see whether blogs are better than handwritten journals. Students are journaling online about events that are happening in the local community. We would love to communicate with other students from all over the world.

  9. Hi…we are a Grade 7 class that has been blogging for the past month. We began with each student selecting a personal passion and selecting 5 different avenues to explore that passion…via research and opinion. We would love to have some guests visit our blogs and hopefully we can do the same by visiting your blogs as well.
    Our student blogs cover topics from movies to photography to parkour…(that crazy sport where people run up the side of buildings and stuff…).
    Hope to you see you soon!

  12. This blog is by 4th and 5th grade students who are reporting on the activities and events happening at their elementary school in Massachusetts, U.S.A. They meet once a week with myself, teacher-librarian, to decide what to report, how to report this information, and assess how their choses worked. This is our first year with a Blog and we are experimenting with different forms of media.

    We hope you enjoy our Blog.

  13. Hi,

    My Spanish class blog, “Blogueamos” (let’s blog) links each of my 8th graders blogs. We are just getting started this year, but if you look at the rubric page you will see that the purpose is purely for students to communicate with each other through their blogs. They are required to comment and respond to comments in small groups, and encouraged to go outside of their groups and visit as many student blogs as they are able.

    Thanks,

  14. My main reason for using a blog for my Year 8 Mathematics class (13/14 year olds) was to give them some experience of how technology can be used to support them in their classroom. They are each getting a laptop next year and past experience has shown that the majority of students receiving this technology have no idea how it can be used in an educational environment.

    We are also using the blog as a way of communicating with students’ families and launching and discussing ideas for enrichment projects and classwork.

    Thanks for reading and thanks for the opportunity

  18. I just started my classroom blog. I teach third grade in a small (85 kids), rural school in Midwest America. I wanted to start a blog to serve as a way to communicate, connect, and collaborate with students, parents, and other classrooms around the world. My immediate goal is to maintain communication with my students over the summer. I hope to provide them with various links to keep their reading skills and math skills up to par over the long summer break. I also hope to have some online book discussions over the summer.

  20. I and my partner Meltem are currently teaching Intermediate level students (aged between 17-19) at The School of Languages,Sabanci University in Istanbul, Turkey.

    We use our class blog ( http://sec4.edublogs.org/) as an e-folder to keep their written and oral work. We open posts,students leave their comments; we give feedback to their entries and they edit their work. They also read each other’s work and leave comments. They also use “podomatic” and “voicethread” to record their oral work on certain tasks and concepts: We also keep them in our blog.

    We would like to work with other prep classes from different universities/colleges all
    around the world and share our work with others.

  22. We are a year 6 class of over 60 students and this is our second year with edublogs. We are from Merrlands East Public school and we use this blog to communicate with parents, display work, record images, sounds and movies and use it as a publishing tool to diaplay all our programs and activities that we are a part of. We would love to have a buddy class to work with and are keen to work with anyone anywhere.

  23. We are a Grade 2 class of 24 students in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. We are excited to expand our Classroom website into our first Edublog! Our classroom is full of plants, classroom pets, and nature studies. We have lots of Monitor Jobs like “Entomologist”, “Community News Reporter”, and “Computer Technician”. Our Traveling Stuffies have been all over the world (the teacher is jealous!!!) and Monty Moose has his own website too! We look forward to sharing ideas with all the wonderful classroom Edublogs we have seen so far!

  24. Hi,
    I’m a first grade teacher from Shanghai American School in China.
    I started my blog because the school made me – as a communication tool for parents, but I love it and I try to make it be so much more. I think of it as a place where I can share our learning with the world. I can’t wait to check out some of the other classrooms on the list. Thanks for putting it all together.

    My blog is called Mrs Hossack’s First Graders.
    I teach first grade in Shanghai, China to expatriate students from around the world.

  36. Hi, we are a year 6 class from the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia. We have over 65 students in a team teaching environment and utilise technology in all areas of our program. We use the blog to communicate with parents, publish work, homework, notes, excursions…….basically everything. We see it as a way bringing the classroom to the parents – we even have them commenting on their lunch breaks. We have numerous blogs allocated to student clubs and units of work, and most are updated and maintained by our students. We would love to link up with other classes somewhere in the world and look forward to hearing from you :)

  43. Students wanted their class blog to reflect their personality and their work in Biology. Coming from Leongatha Secondary College in rural Victoria, Australia, they wanted a name that included their location and year level and so chose lscgathabiotens. Our topic has been genetics and students have attempted to record their learnings on the blog.
    Our URL is: http://gathabiotens.wordpress.com/

  45. This is my Primary 6 blog. Used for home/school liaison to let parents see what is going on in school.

Thirdly I am trying to teach the pupils how to leave good comments and how to respond to the comments of others.

  46. Classroom Blog Board is a collection of science lessons for my secondary classes. I copy the posts to my class blogs and students respond from there. You can link through to my class blogs from the Classroom Blog Board.

  48. Hi Sue!

    Our class blog is called Techie Kids, http://edublogs.misd.net/techiekids/
    I am currently teaching Technology to students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. This blog began as a way to share projects that the students were doing in class with their families at home. It has become an authentic platform for global learning!

    I try to teach Technology by integrating it into all other subject areas in a meaningful context. I love to collaborate with the classroom teachers to extend the learning. I am amazed at the vast array of possibilities that blogging has opened up for my students. I am happy to be a part of this wonderful blogging community!

    Thanks for providing us with this excellent resource to connect with each
    other.

  49. Hi Susan,

    My class blog is called `KD’s Blog’ and can be found here
    https://www.det.nsw.edu.au/blog/985639-kdsblog/
    The children are in Kindergarten (5/6 year olds) in Sydney, Australia. I set up the blog this term as a way to share with parents and family who are unable to visit our class regularly (or at all!). I wanted to give them an insight into their child’s day at school, which they may not otherwise have. So far the feedback has been extremely positive! I am really hoping to connect with classes in other parts of the world and hopefully commenting here will help me to achieve this.
    This is my first visit to you blog (via Kath McGeady’s blog) and I will definately be back again. You are doing a sensational job!!
