Calling All CLASS blogs…Please Share Your Blog URL With Us!

Image of a light bulbWhen 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:

  1. Blog name(s) and URL(s).
  2. Approximate age of students and are they primary, secondary or tertiary?
  3. If applicable, what subject area? e.g. maths, science, language, history, English, Art, Music, ELL, ESL, & EFL
  4. Country

Thanks to Sue Tapp for reminding me that this task was on my to-do list!

  2. I am actually a little surprised that our class blog was not included. We are a special education class blog of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. We have been active participants in the Blog Challenge09. The “talking cat” idea was taken from our talking penguin who shares our blog rules. The students have really enjoyed blogging with classrooms all around the world. From our blog you can also visit our Class Website, http://www.tinyurl.com/pcranford
    We would love to be added to your blog list.

  3. Hi, my class blog is http://mrcraig.edublogs.org/ It is for my 6th and 7th grade US History classes. The kids use it to post comments about class related topics. These posts count as part of their participation grades. I am continually amazed by what they find most interesting.

    1. Mr. Craig,

      I am a 8th grade US teacher at an middle school in Santa Ana CA. I looked at your blog and am impressed with the students’ comments. I use my blog to post homework questions which I find they respond better than regular written work. I also use the blog so that students can create their own blogs, post podcasts, and take review quizzes. I am also a Skype user and am looking to collaborate with other 8th grade classes.

    2. @Mr. Craig, I found you! I’m ever-so-happy. Well, I guess I’ll see you tomorrow.(This wasn’t an attempt to get extra points)

  4. Hi Everyone, I’ve updated the class list again. Please check your details and let me know if I have made any mistakes.

    For all new readers – please feel free to share your details – I regularly update this list in batches!

  6. We started blogging at the beginning of the year with four Year 6 classes (96 students). We watch the ABC program ‘Behind The News’ every week and use this as a springboard for writing posts to the blog. This program exposes students to current affairs and worldly issues in a kid friendly way.
    Students have been very excited about blogging and many are experimenting with setting up their own.
    We invite other class bloggers to visit our blog and to share their opinions, skills and knowledge with us.
    Check it out.

We will share ideas and our work across a lot of curriculum areas. We would love to hear from other schools across the world.

    Our Blog is written and edited by the children with the odd page which I contribute. I think they do a great job considering they are only 9-11 years old.

    We would love to hear your comments.

  17. Hello everyone! I teach Grade 7 and 8 (12 – 14yo) in Canada and have recently started a classroom blog. It’s a work in progress, but please stop by! I’ve gotten lots of great ideas from other teacher’s blogs which I’m using on my blog.

    My students are very new to this but are extremely excited about the possiblities.

  18. The New Zealand School year has restarted so after 11 months our blog at tamakitoday.blogspot.com has ceased to be active. (30,000 views of material in total!) I have moved towns and school and have set up a new blog for my Y7 Class (new as in the first week of February). The address for this is:
    melvilleroom8.blogspot.com
    The students are novices but getting very excited about blogging and visitors!

  21. Thanks everyone. I’ve now updated the class list – please check your information and let me know of any problems with your links or details.

    My class blog is Mrs. Caudill’s Classroom Connection.

    My goal for the blog is to communicate with parents what is going on in our classroom (news, important dates, daily agenda/assignment board) and to provide links that give my students a chance to use computers to enhance our math lessons.

    My blog is a “work in progress” as I am truly learning about blogging as I go along!
