Classroom Blogging in the United States


Mr. Ahlness Third Grade Class

In Seattle, Washington Mr. Ahlness is a third grade teacher at Arbor Heights Elementary. I can tell by his posts he is an enthusiastic teacher and loves his job. In pretty much every post I see there are lots of words of encouragement. On this classroom blog there are pictures of the class, children, and even field trips. I love of He entitled the blog the Mighty Writers. If a student's name is mentioned in his post there is a link to that particular students blog, and that's really neat. He students blog are well written and they seem smart. Mr. Ahlness using his classroom blog for great educational purposes.



Welcome to East Central Elementary Blogging Headquarters






Although, the East Central Elementary School isn't filled with pictures or lots of color I though this would be a good school to choose. This isn't a classroom blog, but a school blog meant for teachers. It contains various links to science fair project ideas, field trips and other neat websites. This is a great way for teachers to communicate with each other and share ideas that can help in the class room. I think that's a great idea. Being a teacher is not a easy job, but to be able to have others help you is a great resource to make the classroom the best it can be. When I teach I would like to have a blog meant for all the teachers. It would be beneficial to all.
