International http://mscofino.edublogs.org/projects/ The first blog that I found was called Always Learning. It is from a school in Thailand. This blog was posted by a student/ teacher named Kim Cofino. She talks about becoming a 21st Century Literacy Specialist. She uses her blog to talk about being a student and a literacy specialist. She also includes her resume on her blog. Clearly, blogs help international schools just as well as any other schools. http://lovetowrite.typepad.com/geeks/ The second one was a blog dealing with Edutopia. On this blog it talks about how the web blogs are beneficial to the classrooms. They help the students with technology learning. Eventually the new learning will be with no more books but computers. This blog is really interesting in the fact that it talks about the situation and what is going on. It also talks about how blogs are helpful to both students and teachers. International schools are using technology in the same fashion as schools in the US. All children need an education and technology seems to keep advancing. Therefore, international schools much stay up to date on the current variety of knowledge methods. These children are receiving a better education because of technology. International teachers feel the same way as US teachers in the fact that these blogs are “helpers” to their classrooms. They provide so much extra help along with the actual lesson plans. It is great that a majority of schools are using these blogs to help better the future children that will carry on our name. Education is a important factor in life. International schools are helping their students learn the “21st century way”. Blogs are a great invention for education.
