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

Hello!
Our class blog will be updated only a few times a year by the pupils (9 to 13 year old) learning French only one hour a week. It is there to display work and tell us likes and dislikes in French to practice (in their Forum):

Hi
I teach English in Barcelona, Spain and I use the blog with my secondary students, aged 12, and my high school students, aged 17. It would be very nice to receive comments from other countries and get in touch with others.

I have a few class blogs for different teachers in our K-10 school. They are all grade 6/7 (11-13 year olds)
http://wyatt67.edublogs.org where the 2008 student blogging competition is based – lots of links to students around the world here
http://logan67.edublogs.org a teacher who has only been working with her class since the middle of the year – lots of questions are asked re social skilling
http://spencer67.edublogs.org where students have only just begun earning their own blogs after writing comments and posts in other blogs around our school
Next year, hopefully a middle school blog for our co-ordinator to notify parents and get some parental input to the sub school.

Greetings,
My class of 4th graders is starting to add articles to the class blog which is a combination of student posts along with posts for parents. We add curriculum area information to the blog, with a focus on reading and writing across all subjects.
Our school in Richards Elementary School in Whitefish Bay, WI USA. We would enjoy reading comments from students and teachers alike!

Hi
The blog I created is primarily used as a school to home communication tool. It is also viewed by family and friends who like seeing the pics and videos of the little ones they know and love.
