I searched the web for some international schools that were using blogger.com in their K-12 classrooms. The first one I found did not use blogger for their students but, did use it for the parents. The blog is from Koroboro International School and it puts up posts to let parents know what is going on with the school. They were able to see when parent teacher night occured and also let them know when their child's new uniform's had arrived. The web-site also published pictures of their athelets from some of their competitions. I think this is a good way for parents to keep up directly with whats going on at their child's school.

Another school I found that promoted using blogger.com in the classrooms was Korea International School. In this blog 9th graders in humanities and Literature classes wrote blogs about different stories they had to read. The teacher was very impressed with their work and recommends that all teachers using blogger.com with their students when they get to be an appropriate age.
