Blogs in the International classroom, 2


This blog belongs to Ms. Harrington's class at Cefn Fforest Primary School in Wales. There are thirty year 3 pupils in year class. Year 3 is equivalent to ages 7 and 8. Of the blogs I have viewed this one has tho most multimedia content. She has a slide show and a video. The slide show showcases their Pirate Day last Friday. This is a wonderful idea because not all parents have the opportunity to get off work and go to every activity at their child's school. So this way they can listen to what happened from their student, read about it on the blog, and watch a slide show of pictures. Her students also do podcasts (used with a iPod) that students in other countries are able to listen to. Included is a class picture from Pirate Day! The website for this blog is : http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=71986

When I was viewing various blogs, the one problem I had was trying to figure out what grade they were in compared to American standards. Thank you for doing the conversion.

On to the ipod, I am still trying to figure out what an ipod is.

I love looking at the various pictures on her blog. Great pictures.

Another thing I like on her blog is the map that tells about all the visitors from her site so her students can see where posters/viewers are from.
