Classroom Blogs-International-1

An international school that I was able to find that does blogging is the International School Dhaka. It is located in Bangladesh. Julie Lindsay who is the educational technology specialist at the school started the blogging. She started the blogging to give ideas about learning on the computer through distance learning and digital learning in the field of education. Students at the school had always used blogging and weblogs for their journals, for discussions and creating digital portfolios along with a few other things. With the help of Julie Lindsay and a few other English teachers the students were introduced to a new way of classroom learning by using blogs. Julie Lindsay started what is referred to as the flat classroom project. It is online learning between International and United States students. These students can interact together online. They can also discuss life from the different sides of the world. This sounds like an excellent project. You can view this website by clicking here
