Blogs Used in the Classroom: International Edition

This teacher uses her blog to discuss Guiyang Primary School in China. She gives you a detailed description of the daily activities. She also covers details like what exactly the room looked like and how the students responded to their teachers with respect. It was interesting to see the difference from your average American classroom. The Chinese teacher asked Dr. Kari if the American students studied Chinese as much as the Chinese students studied English. Another important thing she discussed is how the teachers planned for their lessons and how they approached actually teaching them during the school day. It is neat to see Dr. Kari's perspective of the Chinese classroom. Dr. Kari's Blog

This is a picture of students in Hangleton Junior School in Britain. the students in British schools are become "bloggers" at the age of seven. The teachers say that it the use of the blog has set them ahead of other students their age. These children are allowed to blog about things that interest them in their spare time, as a result, their performance as a class has improved. One teacher found that his students loved blogging so much, that they enjoyed blogging for extra credit after school hours. Blogging in British Schools
