International Schools

I found a international school in Jarkata, Indonesia. The class is taught by a fifth grade teacher Mrs. Jane. It is a class of 5th grade students in Sinarmas World Academy. Mrs. Jane allows each one of here students to create their own blogs. She seems to be a great teacher because she allows her students to become involved in the activities in the class. And those are great qualities of a very effective teacher.

It is very interesting that children in the 5th grade are blogging. I didn't know anything about a "blog" until I entered college. Now that makes me feel really bad. Why didn't I ever hear about a blog? I was so behind the modern times. I fell so ashamed. LOL!!!!Mrs. Jane shows the pictures of her students "Billy carts" on her blog site. This is really a great blog it shows a slide show of the students and the school it is very interactive.














I also find another school named the Outram Primary School which is near Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand. The class has 13 girls and 9 boys. The teacher makes posts about the daily activities that take place in the classroom. The students are praised for their achievements in and out of the class room. The teacher really makes her classroom seem really interesting. The students seem very happy to be involved in all of the classroom activities. She also has links to websites that the students can explore and get different ideas from.

She really has some great ideas about getting students involved and interactive in the classroom. She provides the students with a calender so that they can keep up with different events and activities that will happen in the class.

If you have any questions for the teacher you can email her at: taniab@outram.school.nz. Check out her class blog.
