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- Remove blogs that have been deleted or are no longer active (haven’t updated since Jan, 2009)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 😎
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:
- Your Class 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

Here’s an example of the type of information needed:

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!!

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.

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/
We are a 6th grade humanities class studying Anthropology and Ancient Greece this year. We love to blog and would like to have comments and suggestions from students around the world. Please share your blogs with us.

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 🙂
