The first International classroom blog spot I found is of Teacher Mihnea's 7th grade class in Bangkok, Thailand. Teacher Mihnea posts assignments, chapter overviews, links, pictures and upcoming events on his class blog as an informational guide for his students. He posts chapter reviews, vocabulary lists, activities, and study guides for upcoming tests that his students need to know. Subjects on his blog page include English, Science, Health, Art, Math and History. Students are required to post assignments on their own blogs and comment on their classmates posts as well. For a history assignment, they were required to post a picture of their country flag and explain what it represents.
Teacher Mihnea created a label named "quiz stars" where he posts the names of students who do exceptionally well on quizzes each week. I think this is a good idea in how a students success and good grades are acknowledged. It motivates students to work hard and in return, will be recognized for their accomplishments. Teacher Mihnea even has the students' birthdays posted with pictures and how they celebrated each of their birthdays. With this being a seventh grade class, having extra posts such as these keep the students interested while they still have their school assignments just a click away.

The second International blog spot I found was Mr. Hide's Class Blog. This is a seventh grade Physical Geography and History class from Colegio Jorge Washington by the sea in Cartagena, Colombia. Students are required to post answers to assignments on their own blog pages. Mr. Hide posted a field trip permission form for students to print out and get their parents to sign and bring to school. The students post articles about global warming issues and articles on civilization and their own beliefs. There is also a video link about Facebook and if it as safe as you think it is. After reading some of the students blogs, all of their responses are detailed and have interesting, thoughtful feedback.
