International Schools

This is a blog that I found from Motueka High School in New Zealand. This is actually a specialized high school that deals mostly with outdoor recreation. The school has used this blog to post pictures of trips that they took, such as a trip to Middle Earth Cave where students explored, learned, and had fun all at the same time. This blog is also very informative about trips that the students take, and it gives a lot of interesting facts about each place. Lastly, the blog gives posts of upcoming events that are taking place which can be used by students. It is a very interesting and unique blog that both informs and entertains.

The teacher's name is Mrs. Kelso and she has a class of 11 and 12 year olds. This teacher uses her blog much like other educators do. She has given students information on previous assignments, a breakdown of what they are learning in class, and even additional resources for learning. This teacher has taken it a step further, however, by providing video posts that show different ways of learning, such as a video that she posted about learning multiplication. Her post allows students to see assignments, interactive videos, and even pictures of their adventures in the class!
