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:
- January, 2010 – comments on this post have now been turned off.
- If you would like to share your class blog details to be added to Check out Class Blogs please leave a comment on Our Class Blog List Has Been Updated — Is Your Class Blog on The List?

@suewaters, you have done a great job putting the page together with all the class blogs and also sorting them out into subject areas as well for those in secondary and high school. Thanks for all your help in running the blogging competition. This week is their chance to reflect on how well they have improved in their literacy skills. Wonder what they will decide we need to do now?
My class and I moderate a school-wide blog for grades 10-12. The population of the school is about 1350 and we’re located in British Columbia, Canada. Check us out at http://[email protected]
We’re interested in a discussion about how and why we would change high school!
Hi, I’m a teacher-librarian at Mossgiel Park Primary School, so my class blog is a library blog. It’s at http://mppsliblog.edublogs.org/. We’d love to hear from other primary school libraries:) I have 18 classes from Prep to year 6, and with my 5 laptops am gradually teaching students how to write short posts so that next year I can build blogging into my lessons as a routine activity.
My professional blog is at http://lisahillschoolstuff.wordpress.com/.
I’m in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Wonderful resource for teachers looking to find quality student blogs for classroom collaboration. I bookmarked your page in Diigo with the “Kids Blogging” group. Thanks for the resources!

My class is primary aged. We have just started blogging so we are still learning.
We welcome any feedback or tips!
Enjoy!
My students are juniors and seniors in College English and College Speech at a rural high school in Indiana. I hope you enjoy our blogs!

I have started a class blog for my 6, 7, 8 and 9 year old students in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. We are an open/progressive school in Greensboro, North Carolina. This is the first time I have tried anything with tech and it’s very challenging and FUN! The kids are having so much fun with it – especially seeing all our visitors all over the world. Please check us out and let us know if any international students would like to exchange chat and letters.
Thanks!

I have a classroom blog
Blog Name: What’s Happening in Room 102
http://teacher102.edublogs.org
This is a primary – grade one class of 22 -6 and 7 year olds in Canada. It mainly focuses on Language Arts and Math.
Thanks everyone so far who has added their class blogs for the list. I’ve started creating the list on a separate page for The Edublogger and have it separate in age level and subject area. It is taking a bit of time to create so is still under construction.
Any suggestions regarding a short name for the page as the link will appear at the top of The Edublogger?
@Kate Olson Glad the list has been of help. Can I get you to give us the RSS link for the folder?
Regarding ads you might like to check this post in The Edublogs forum.
Thanks for this great list! Using these, I created a blogroll in Google Reader that I then embedded in my workshop wiki for an upcoming workshop I’m leading on blogs & wikis – I’m so happy so many people responded to Sues’ call here 🙂 The list is at the VERY bottom………..

i have three high school english classes using blogs at http://turtola.edublogs.org
1. language and literature (44 juniors) http://turtola.edublogs.org/language-and-literature/
2. creative writing (22 seniors) http://turtola.edublogs.org/creative-writing/
3. english 1 (36 freshmen) http://turtola.edublogs.org/english -1/
What a fantastic idea! I’m quite new to the educational blogging world and I have really enjoyed viewing some other blogs for ideas and interest 🙂
1. My class blog is simply Room 7’s Class Blog and it can be found at http://roomseven.edublogs.org
2. This is for a mixed Year 3 and 4 class so children range in age from 7-9 years (primary)
3. The blog is mainly used for home/school communication and providing further homework links. All curriculum areas.
4. New Zealand
Thanks again! Maree
Kelly, you have the address wrong. Try http://wordsrthings.edublogs.org. That missing s un edublogs makes all the difference!
I am in the midst of a professional development course, and I had to create a blog for an assignment. I created the blog yesterday, but today URL takes me to the generic edublogs page. I don’t know what happened to it, and as this is the only support page, I don’t know where else to ask for help.
My URL is http://wordsrthings.edublog.org
I would like to know what I either didn’t do correctly.
Our class blog is located at:
http://kulikowski.edublogs.org
My students are in 5th grade, and I am pleased that former students use the blog regularly too.
I teach all subject areas, but the blog tends to focus on Reading and writing.
We are from Las Vegas, NV, USA
Thanks! – We hope you will drop by and leave a comment!
Hi,
The name of my class blog is: http://www.5nt.ca
You can also find it at:
http://grade5nt.edublogs.org/
It’s a Grade 5 class located in Ottawa, Canada. There are 30 students who are ten years old.
We work with another class across the hall. Jane Smith’s class blog can be found at http://www.56js.ca or http://jsmith.edublogs.org. The classes collaborate to produce a podcast called Portable Radio. Find it at http://www.portableradio.ca
or http://portableradio.edublogs.org.
Finally, Jane and I work together on a professional development site targeting blogging and podcasting in the classroom. Find it at http://www.portablepd.ca or http://portablepd.edublogs.org.
Thanks, Sue, for giving us the opportunity to do a little self-promotion!
Our class blogs can be accessed through the links on the school blog. We are just starting so at the moment we only grade 5 &6 students contributing to the class blog but already there are great things happening. http://berwicklodgeps.edublogs.org.
Thanks for the list Sue. This is a great idea.
