Benefits of Blogging

We've embarked on an exhilarating journey of international blogging with three other schools from around the globe, igniting a spark of excitement among our students. Our school in Alberta has forged connections with students in Tasmania, Australia; Kansas City, Missouri; and Waterloo, Ontario.

                                                   Tasmania, Australia
                                                     Kansas City, Missouri
                                                     Waterloo, Ontario


The concept of quad blogging has infused our virtual exchanges with energy and purpose. Each week, one school takes center stage, expanding the audience for our blogs and providing students with a meaningful platform to share their thoughts and ideas. In just one week of collaborative blogging, remarkable connections have begun to blossom.


One such connection stemmed from our exploration of the novel "Where the Red Fern Grows," which is set in the Ozarks. Our students discovered that our peers in Kansas City reside in this very region, offering a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about life in the Ozarks.




Another intriguing connection emerged during a discussion about various landforms. One of our students delved into research about hoodoos, a geological wonder found in Alberta, sparking curiosity among her peers. In response, students from Australia shared their knowledge of similar landforms in their own country, fostering a rich exchange of information and ideas.





As we eagerly prepare to take the blogging spotlight once more, we anticipate sharing snapshots of our Alberta learning journey with our global peers and eagerly await their feedback and insights. Together, we continue to weave a tapestry of global understanding and collaboration through the power of blogging.
