Taradale Primary School Blog
This is a great example of an educational blog. It is very colourful with lots of moving images and articles that entice you into investigating further.
On the left side are a myriad of ways to identify the visitors to the site, along with useful links to educational sites such as spellingcity.com and a video tour of the school and village.
In the middle of the page are articles which are accompanied by montages of moving photos. The articles depict activites that the school has been involved in and are written by students and members of the community. The topics range from the school gardening bee, to interviews with new students, competitions and eliciting ideas for a new school sign. There is a really interesting feature on one page called a glogster which appears to be a program which some students have used to create posters with captions.
This blog is aimed at the whole school community and there is something for every age group.
Room 10 Morrinsville Intermediate School
This is another excellent example of an educational blog, but quite different from the blog described above. It is not so much a school community blog as a class blog that is used by the students to aid their learning.
The blog does not look as "busy" as Taradale's but in some ways is easier to read, with its vibrant blue background and well laid out items.
The items are diverse and include surveys and live tallys on which football team will win, video presentations on short stories that the students have produced, interactive wordsearches that the students have compiled and even a cyberpet that the class have adopted!
This blog is aimed at stage 3 and 4.
