Some 'model' Class blogs

This is just a selection ... from around the world ... because I guess for me that's part of why you want the class to blog .... to make all sorts of connections

Kindergarten - 2KM &2KJ
A blog shared between 2 kingergarten classes in Victoria. I liked;

• the variety of images in the current post (photos of kids listening to a story, some of their toys 'reading' the same story, a google map etc.),
• it's list of connections to other class blogs to promote lots of interrelationships and sharing,
• the questions at the end of the post to stimulate comments (the effectiveness of this can be seen in the number of comments that answer the questions)
• regular updates on a variety of topics

3rd Grade - Krs Kistler and the 49ers (Texas)

• I loved their blogging 'flashlight' game relating to stories ... 6 word stories (visit the blog to read Ernest Hemingway's story ...).
• Also has a variety of topics for their class posts that invite comments and interaction with other classes and fairly regular posts.
• They use plugins and photos and lots of links (to technical tools, other blogs etc.)

3rd Grade - Mrs Yollis' class (California)

• Some videos of a variety of maths problems .. including solving some that other bloggers had sent them.
• Photos of events and photo links to other blogs or sites
• Lots of evidence of using other new media - talking about skypes to New York (with maps)
