International Blogs

The first international blog I found was Mr. Bensons Room 12 blog. This blog was for his 8-9 year olds that attended Mellons Bay School in Auckland, New Zealand. This site included podcasts that were so interesting because the students sounded so much different than students from the United States. The blog also included homework, presentations, photos, school tube and much more. It was a good site for children 8-9 because it was not intimidating and very kid friendly.

The second international blog I found was Mrs. C's grade 5 and 6 class from Victoria, Australia. Their blog was titled Our Blog 2009. This blog was more of a fun blog for their students to visit. It had a lot of interactive learning sites students were asked to visit and it also had a lot of interesting facts on the blog. Not only was this one blog but it also offered many other blogs that you could visit. Students could play tutpup, launchball, snowflakes and smilebox. All of these links were educational and also fun for the students. This blog is a great site for students to learn and have fun.
