Week 4 - Educational blogs

I found the following two educational blogs:


1. http://kuieck.edublogs.org/ - This blog is really well set out with an update section, a class calendar showing the main items for each day which are embedded with additional information (for example, homework and assignment due dates), a class newsletter, and a bookshelf which includes details of three books including a description of the book (and links to a separate blog named "shelfari"). The class is a year 2 class.




2. http://sacschoolblogs.org/oakridge2010 - this blog is for older students (years 5/6) and includes a survey for the students about what they already know so the teacher can use this information to address gaps in knowledge. The blog has information about how to navigate within the blog, and has excellent links to skill development websites (such as games, typing, mathematical puzzles - which keeps score).
