"26 Bay Bloggers is our second year of blogging. We began as Busybees at the Bay a 4/5 class blog in 2011. In 2012 we became 26 Bay Bloggers with 26 Year 3/4 students new to blogging. Our school is in Southern Tasmania, Australia. Our blog will share with our community some of the things we do at school. It is aimed to inform parents, share classroom displays and ICT learning and be used as a way to record our learning journey. At this stage we will not be sharing photos of ourselves that are identifiable but we will share our voices and lots of learning we have done. Blogging is also a way to open us up to other classrooms around the world. We are hoping to make contact with other classes from different places in Australia and different countries. If you have a class blog with students in the range 8-11 and are looking for contacts please email busybeesatthebay@gmail.com Even seeing visitors on our clustermap has been exciting! Any member of the class can contribute to the class blog and they are encouraged to do so. However as we gain expertise we will set up individual student blogs. "
