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?

We’ve just begun our blogging journey this week and the children are thrilled to participate – the feeling in the room is electric! Most of my flock do not have home computers, so having access and opportunity at school is vital.
I’m learning so much by visiting other classroom blogs – thank you all.
Right now we are primarily using it to post our responses to the expository and narrative writing practice prompts developed by our school district.
Connect with us 🙂

My “class” consists of two girls, ages 10 and 12. We do not have a classroom, as our learning happens both formally at the kitchen table and also informally at anywhere, anytime. I have been homeschooling my kids for 6 years now and just 7 months ago, I discovered Edublogs. Edublogs has put some much-needed organization into our online lives and also allows us to share some of learning samples with our formal teachers and interested grandparents. My children learn at home with the help of a distributed learning school, North Island Distance Education School (Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada) where the teachers supervise, to some degree, our learning. I have also set up at Edublog for the parents at our distributed learning school. Thank you everyone for your inspiration !

Ps. I think I’ll following you on twitter.
This is our first year of blogging as a class. We initially began to enhance student/teacher/parent communication. We are a grade 3 class in Melbourne. Putting homework on each week has been a great bonus, parents can see what’s required at a glance. Some parents were hesitant to begin with, but all are on board now. Students without Internet access at home felt a little left out sometimes. We have an IWB, so the blog was visited most days. Students love it when others leave comments. I love the idea of looking at othr blogs for ideas, thanks for the list. I am off to check it out.
@Mrs G I’m glad you like the idea of the list and are using it for ideas. I will be doing another update of the list soon.
