2. 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.

5. Hi
   My class blog is designed to be used with Junior Primary classes and is primarily for organising learning resources to support our current learning. A secondary, but very important, use is to promote home – school communication.

6. Hi Sue,
   My class blog is for students and parents of my class of Year 3 (US grade 2) children in an international school in Bangkok Thailand.
   It’s a way to share links, children’s work and comments as well as raising children’s participation in classwork by commenting.

   Thanks for sharing such a useful list of schools.

8. Hi!

   I have been using a blog for my class since 2004. I post homework and notes for students and parents. I teach 6th grade in South Sacramento, CA. I use it daily with my class by putting the links we will use that day, then during the day say “go to my blog and …..”. I’d love to see what improvements I can make; give me your thoughts.

9. Hi Sue,

10. Hi Sue,
    My class blog, Mrs. Nessman’s Class, was set up for school to home communication and to showcase my Grade One students’ writing and art work. Parents enjoy seeing and reading about what their kids have been doing during the day.
    Thanks

11. I use the blog to publish small texts that students write along with the curriculum; our class is English as a Foreign Language.

    They are in secondary and they are from 12 to 15 years old.

    First Grade: http://publishingcorner.edublogs.org/

    Third Grade: http://thirdonthewall.edublogs.org/ (this one needs to be updated) and this year I’m trying new motivation.

12. Thanks everyone for sharing your details. I’ve now added them to the Class blog list – please check and let me know if I need to make any edits.

    Apologies to some of you but Akismet (my anti spam tool) was working a bit overtime and placed some of the comments into the spam moderation queue 🙁

13. 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….

18. Hey Sue,

    Thanks for providing this resource. I’m a fourth grade teacher from Massachusetts and new to the world of blogging. I began my blog as a resource for students and parents to find information that will be be of interest to them. My hopes are that it becomes a shared-class resource, providing information and housing web-based assignments

    1. @mlewis145, I found some wonderful ideas on your page!
       Thank you….

19. Hi Sue,
    1. “An American Studies”: http://www.anamericanstudies.com
    2. Features links to ~40 secondary students’ blogs, student age = 16-17
    3. American Studies = US History and Literature integrated in a 2 -period class
    4. USA

    The blog listed above is run by an American History teacher and an English teacher. It serves as a model for the student blogs linked to in the right hand column under the heading, “An American Blogs”.

20. Wasn’t sure if my last comment got through. Here they are again, just in case:

21. Our blog, SCC English, is from the English Department of an Irish secondary school (ages 11 to 18), and posts lots of poetry and other writing by our pupils, as well as other material.

22. Hi, Sue,

    In addition to the class blog you already have listed, I have three more:

    http://sacschoolblogs.org/burbankeld/ is for our secondary class of Intermediate English Language Learners, ages 15-19. USA

    http://theoryofknowledge.edublogs.org/ is for our secondary class of International Baccalaureate Theory of Knowledge class. Age 17. USA

    http://sacschoolblogs.org/burbankarw/ is for our ninth grade (secondary) English class. Age 15. USA

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. Our middle school (6th grade) blog focuses on reading & writing, but is also a journal of our school year events. Used as a communication w/parents and community.
