I searched Google for Teacher's blogs and came across one that really impressed me. It was a site recomended by Scholastic Books. It is called : Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog :   http://mscassidysclass.edublogs.org/

Ms. Cassidy's class communicates with children in schools around the world. They have a global classroom with partner schools in Ireland and they are helping build a school in Kenya. I think that her activities are up to date and relevant. She and her class are working together with their community to fund-raise for a school and children they will probably never see. This lesson in caring for others less fortunate is a wonderful and meaningful life lesson for the students and the community supporting them.

 In her class of 6 year olds, 1st grade  children are on film answering questions from their  friends in Ireland, they then ask question back, this is done on video. It gives the children a chance to speak publicly and to find out some first hand information about what is happening to children in other parts of the world. This turned into a Social Study, Math and English lesson. The late thing they are doing is asking their own questions , this video will be sent to the children in Ireland and the connection will be complete. I like that her lessons include a lot of science and technology, the use of video, and pictures of pheasant eggs they are raising give evidence to this. their classroom is filled with different learning centers from a library area with headphones for books on tape to a science area with stethoscopes. All in all, the children always seem fully engaged and there are many visible signs of interactive learning throughout the blog.
