International Schools Blogging



Some of the most interesting weblogs are created as cooperative or
group projects. In this case, the weblog "owner" can give "posting
rights" to other people, and their "posts" may or may not (depending
on the "rights" assigned by the owner) be reviewed before they are
"published" to the Web page. Some weblogs are set up in such a way
that only the owner or the owner and certain other people have posting
rights, but anyone else can add comments to the posts. An example of a
cooperative weblog is ComLib ,
created in the spring of this year by students in the "Computers and
Libraries" course at the
University of Iceland . ComLib carried news about
web sites related to the use of information technology in libraries.
All of the students in the class posted messages to the weblog, but it
was not set up to allow comments from people outside the ComLib Team.
Another cooperative weblog is the Illinois Library Association's ILA
RTSF Technology Users Group Web Logger - The Forum
which aims to provide community
Web space for the group.click here for international school blogger

blogging in the United States


Will Richardson’s weblogg–ed.com collects information and dialogue on implementing weblogs in the classroom. Richardson, a teacher at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in New Jersey, uses blogs for both a journalism class and a literature class. In the journalism class, students collect news stories to write about and then edit each other’s work. In the literature class, students comment and critique class readings. For Richardson, blogs allow his students to be more aware of their writing and their audience (Kennedy, 2003).

Blogs can be used in many different age groups. J.H. House Elementary School in Conyers, Georgia uses a blog [2] to encourage writing for third–graders. The teachers use to blog to spotlight select writings of children. Similarly, Buckman Arts Magnet Elementary School [3] in Portland, Oregon uses blogs to create a portal for all classrooms. The blog links among each teacher, showcasing photographs, student artwork and classroom news.clickhere
