Blogging in Internationl Schools (part 1)


Here we go again, I found a school in Nelson, New Zealand instructed by Rachel Boyd.
The class is made up of six and seven year-olds at Nelson Central School in Room 9.
This blog contains the students ideas such as how to interview people. This gives them an idea of how to ask questions. They also, have games that you can play like, matching. Consequently, they have a discussion on their blog that includes them comparing and contrasting the differences and similarities between their class and Room 18. Furthermore, I loved the picture of the dog with the bone on their website.
The dog keeps count on the number of people, who views the blog. Mrs. Boyd also, has a video that you can watch. This video explains the importance of blogging in the classroom. This blog was an enhancing way of learning on the blog to me because it provides so many different ideas for students to use.
