The idea was simple!
Create a class blog list for educators to use as a resource to get ideas for their own class blog and make connections with classes in other countries.
Now over 2 years later since the class blog list was first created in 2008:
- It’s still growing
- It’s the most visited page on this blog
But like all good ideas it does take work 😎
So it’s now been updated to ensure that it does remain current and contain resources that are helpful.
This update I’ve looked at how else can I make it a better resource?
Improved Categories
Firstly, I wanted to make it easier for you to find the class blogs for the grades and/or subjects you teach.
So I’ve improved the categories to better separate:
- Primary / Elementary into each Grade level
- Secondary / High into subject areas.
Updated All Blogs
Next, I’ve checked every blog on the list and removed any that have been:
- Deleted
- No longer exist
- Are no longer active (haven’t updated within 6 months)
- Have changed their privacy from public to private.
And off course, made sure all new blogs submitted were added to the list.
Class Blogging Since ?
Finally. with over 200 class blogs on the list, I wanted to make a way for you to be able to quickly scan the list while learning more about the age of specific blogs.
So I’ve added an icon next to the older class blogs to show how long that blog has been used as a class blog for.
For example, 
means the blog has been used for class blogging since 2004 whereas a blog with 
has been used as a class blog since 2009.
I’m sure others, like myself, will be amazed at how long some of these blogs have been used for class blogging!

Hi Sue,
Our class blog was initially called “Windows into 2T” but with changes to globalteacher I shifted the blog across to edublogs in a new name.
Our new class blog is now called “Windows Into Learning”.
http://windowsintolearning.edublogs.org/
We are a Year 2 Two class in Melbourne Australia and we have only started this blog up this year. The purpose initially was to inform parents of what was happening in our classroom. It has now started to take off and we are now beginning to make connections with other schools in Melbourne and hopefully more globally.
Thanks Sandra

Hi Sue
Our class blog is called Team 2A-the Awesome Explorers. http://mswilson123.blogspot.com/
We are a group of Year 2 students (age 6-7 years)living in subtropical Queensland, Australia. We started the blog at the beginning of this year (2011). Hopefully the blog helps busy parents have the opportunity to feel connected with all the happenings in the class. The old conversation: “What did you do at school today?” Response: “Nothing” can now be something of the past! We’re providing great conversation starters! In addition our class loves having a global audience. It gives them purpose and motivation for their writing.
Regards
Jacqui

We are called Studio Two because we are room two and and we are excellent artists. My students are year 3 to 5 and are very enthusiastic bloggers now.
