International Blogs for teachers/students

Apparently it is not only America that is taking advantage of all the blogs and websites on the net. After doing a little searching on line, I have discovered that Portugal too has taken advantage. Luckily for me I can speak Portuguese fairly well so I can get around on the blog website even though it is written in Portuguese. The site I liked the best was the teacher web website. (Teacher Web) The great thing about this site is that you can search for any teacher in just about all major countries in the world. But going back to before, I found interest in Ms. Ana Margarida Flor's blog.

In professora Flor's blog it's got all kinds of links for her students (as well as others interested.) Some of the links she has are for homework, posted grades, art, and study guides. To view her page click on the link Ms. Flor Even though this site was my favorite, I did find something interesting about the Australian teachers and their own blogs for their students.

It seems that even the excitement and craze of blogs has reached "down under". Yes even in Australia teachers are using blogs for the benefits of their students. The site responsible for this is the Australian educ. bloggers site. (Blogger Link) The teacher whom i focused most on was the Lauren O'Grady who is an English teacher in Victoria, Australia. On her blog, Ms. O'Grady gives her students a brief summery of her life and links to some of her favorite websites regarding English literature. Unlike the other blogs I have seen, Ms. O'Grady tells her students and other teachers what she expects out of teachers as well as herself. I found this thoughtful and think that it would make her as well as other teachers better at what they do. And isn't that what students really need? A good role model for their studies? Apparently the Australian teachers union does. To see her page click this link. O'Grady Page
