International Schools that Use Blogs


Sandaig Otters Weblog

This particular blog is for an entire school in Glasgow, Scotland. On this blog, the teachers and blogger assistants post videos, pictures and school wide news updates weekly on the blog.  There is a spot on the  blog that has an archive calendar of events from the past few years at that elementary school.  Just by looking at this blog, you can see things going on in the school, how students and teachers relate to one another and what the schools main focus is for the learning process. Though international schools are different from those in the US, they are still centers for learning and still use modern technology to assist parents, students and other teachers in the furtherance of knowledge of the school. 


Ms. Cassidy's Blog

In this blog, Kathy Cassidy in Moose Jaw, Canada posts pictures and videos about the students and what they have been doing in the classroom and outside the classroom.  I noticed that she posted a link to a website that assists younger students and the technique of reading and writing.  This was obvious posted in the interest of parents so they can help their child with daily homework skills and studies.  Its seems as though this teacher is very well connected with the children too.  She has personal blog spots for each child, along with student entries, like papers students wrote so she could post them for everyone to read.  The obvious focus to this blog is learning and I must say she has a pretty good hand in that.
