International Exploration

The first blog I found was from a teacher who is Australian but who teaches in Tokyo, Japan. This teacher teaches 15 students from 12 different countries. Tokyo International is the name of the school. This class blogs has many different sites that you can visit. The teacher has all of the students pictures up on the blog. Some of the things subject area that they study are very similar to the material that is studied in school in America. The subjects include: Solar System, Language Arts, Structures, Math, Science, Banzi Japan, and Mini Beasts. One other thing I noticed was that the students seem to be very happy and the teacher is very happy also. I really like this blog, because it so inviting.

The second blog that I found was a blog from Auckland, New Zealand. This class consist of 12 and 13 year old students. On their class blog they write about many different things. The topics are not limited to class room criteria. They have blog post about their family members. Post also include their view on the gaming systems like PlayStation. They also write about how they spent holidays. The teacher is also connect to other class room teachers in the United States. There links to those teachers blogs on this web site.
