Australian Educators are using blogs just as Americans do. . .to inform, to instruct, and to connect with others around the world. Concetta Gotlieb is an Australian school teacher who likes using the latest in technology to create a fun learning environment. She offers links to other Australian bloggers who use blogging to help inform and enforce education and technology. A site called me.edu.au is used to set up a profile for bloggers to share information, photos, etc., and connect with other online educational teachers who have similar ideas.
Jim Hall "Jimbo" is an English teacher who lives and teaches in Japan. He uses blogs for his students to become proficient in speaking and reading the English language. On the link class blog , he provides group or individual projects for students who want to become English teachers. He posts their assignments and due dates to have projects completed.
