International

The first international blog for education I found was that of an international teacher named Jeff Utecht. In his blogs he says it is important to have communication with your students. Kind of like a two way conversation. He says you have to give students the time to both read and write. He talks about how you can give your students a topic and allow them to search the web and find other blogs or websites on the topic and then write their own blog about the information they found. He also encourages his students to leave comments on other blogs. His web page International was very informative on how students could use the blog to communicate and learn about different subjects.

The next blog I found student voice was of a teacher who wanted students to hear what other students had to say. He says students will listen better if they hear it from another student instead of a teacher or parents. Therefore his blogs are about students talking with other students on certain topics. He says that the blogs are allowing student to understand material they learn from other students better because it is put in their own words.

Blogs are a good way for students to connect with other student around the world. It is important for student to connect with other student around the world and learn about other cultures. They can also connect with other students and learn about not only differences but similarities. This is a good way for students also to read about things that are not only going on in their own country but around the world.

Teachers encourage students to use these blogs because it is a great learning tool and helps with multi-cultural education. With this students can get a diverse look at certain topics in and around the world.
