Week 6

The first teacher I found using blogs internationally was Mrs. Kathy Cassidy a 1st grade teacher in Moose Jaw, Canada. She uses her blog page to showcase what the students are doing in her classroom. The blog also has exercises for the students to practice, and she conveys information to the parents. One thing that Mrs. Cassidy does that I though was pretty neat is that she post videos of the students as they are learning. For example,today September 26th, she posted a video of the students learning the letter "N", the students held up signs and said what the letter "N" represented. Mrs. Cassidy also has a blog for each student, on their pages, they type sentences with the words they are learning for that week, they also have pictures they have colored posted on the wall as well.

The second teacher I found using blogs internationally was Mr. Gary Coyle, an 8th grade humanities teacher in New Delhi, India. Mr. Coyle's students have their own blogs, for example they post responses to games they have played in class, and pictures that he ask them to analyze. Mr. Coyle also post homework assignments, a hall of fame wall, an about humanities section, and a Q1- Q4 section, which tells the students what they will be covering in each quarter. Each of the students blogs contain pictures on the subject they are covering, along with the response to what Mr. Coyle has assigned them to read or discuss. The picture to the right is one of the cartoons that the class analyzed and posted on their blog pages. I think that Mr. Coyle is preparing his students not only in humanities but to also be technological advanced in the world.
