Blogging Internationally

I found a fantastic website titled Class Blogmeister at http://classblogmeister.com. It is a wonderful resource for teachers by state, name and even country. Check out what I found.

table filled with toys children brought of their favorite itemsMs. Kathy Cassidy based out of Canada has a website located at http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337 . She has included work the children in her classroom have done each day with pictures of the letters they are learning. The picture you see here is for the letter "F for Favorites". Ms. Cassidy also has a YouTube video with some of her children showing things that begin with the letter "B". The most interesting feature about this blog is the yackpack talk featured in the very beginning. If you click on the icon, and the class is nearby and available, you will have the opportunity to chat with the class live. This is amazing!!

The next wonderful blog I found was from teacher Kendall Mead from Australia. She hneatly arranged classroom with 2 large tables and decorated wallsas several different podcasts on her blog which you can view. She makes the statement that this will be her first time blogging, and so far she has done pretty well with it. At the top of her blog is a scrolling video to show her classroom as well as the school and playgrounds as well. It seems to be a very well built and well kept school. I have posted one of the images of her classroom for you to see. The children have responded well to Ms. Mead's blog as there are several posts on the left hand side from her students. For more information on Kendall Mead's classroom, visit her blog at http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?user_id=161988&blogger_id=161997.
