I found this school blog, originating from Thailand. The web address is http://www.schoolvideoblogs.com/prathom-6-1/student-video-blog-61-01.html
This is a very informative blog which even goes so far as to show video clips from daily school routines such as PE class, snack time,lessons, band, and you name it. The Blog even has student's blog with videos introducing the students and what they have learned. This blog was very impressive to me. I have included one picture of some boys from the school above my post.

I also found another interesting blog uniting Scotland and Finland schools, found at http://healthypassportp5.blogspot.com/ It is entitled, "A Healthy Passport P5" A project linking Yester Primary School, in Scotland, with Kuvansin koulu Primary School, in Finland. How interesting for two schools to link through blogging and interacting and communicating one to another.

These two blogs give great ideas for adding videos throughout the days of school so parents can see first hand how things are ordered. Also the concept of communicating with another body of students from a totally different country. How interesting that would be for students and teachers alike. These are definitely ideas I will put to use in my classroom in the future.
