International schools using blogs

Al Upton
Al Upton is a teacher in at Glenelg School in Adelaide, South Australia. His blog is used by his 3 and 4 year students. The students not only learn how to incorportate blogging use into their lives, but also have fun doing it. He does not post assignments like American sites I looked at at do, but he does have instructions on how to do different things on your blog. Alot of the students left comments at the end of the year about their experiences in learning how to blog. They listed making new friends as a "cool" thing that has come out of this class. They all said that they were going to keep up their blogging after leaving his class. His blog links up with his students' blogs as well.
