Blogs in the United States




The first blog I found was Miller's English 10 Blog which is a blog 10th grade students use to post and submit what ever they are reading or learning about in class at that time.Branford High School is located in Branford, CT. This site must be very useful to these students because they are able to communicate with their teacher and fellow students. The teacher posts many questions that the students must respond to. It seems that this blog is a big part of their grade in this classroom. Not only are they adding posts but they must also create posts in Google Docs. These students blog about poems and books. I am sure my English class might have been more interesting in High School if we had a blog.




The second blog I found was Extreme Biology. This blog was created by Stacy Baker who teaches 9th grade biology at Calverton High School in Huntingtown, Maryland. This blog actually won an Edublog award for best class blog. This blog had so many interesting photographs and sites you could visit. You could really tell that Stacy Baker enjoyed teaching biology and her students loved to learn about biology. Students are able to create posts about previous labs they did in class or even something they had done outside of class. Great blog even for someone who is not in the 9th grade.
