Week 6

Blogging is not only used in the United States classrooms, it is used all over the world. When searching for international schools that use blogging to help in their education, I found this blog from a school in New Zealand. In this blog, two students read a book from a famous author in New Zealand named, Lynley Dodd. In the blog the teacher first starts out by telling who the students are and an overview of the book. Then the students make a podcast telling people what the book is about from their perspective. It is really interesting and they have different blogs for different books by the same author.

Another website I found was a blog written by a teacher from Scotland. He talks about a school in Nepal and how it has grown from 13 students to 137 students. The school is now having to turn kids away because of lack of materials and resources. I hope kids can one day realize how lucky they are to be living in a place where all kids can go to school and not be turned away for the simple reason that the school system can not afford them. Education is something I think is taken for granted by a lot of students which is something I hope can change. This is a picture of some of the students that go to the school and they are lining up for assembly.
