Blogs Being Used Internationally by Schools and Teachers

This blog belongs to Menengai High School located in the Rift Valley Province in Kenya. The school is located in Nakuru Town and has a student population of about 1600 students. The school does a number of subjects such as mathematics, languages, humanities, arts, etc..
The site restricts usage to members, but I was glad to know that these kids are being exposed to modern technology and the resources it provides.

Located in Bali, Indonesia the Green School at the campus of Kul-Kul, serves more than 100 students from preschool through year eight. Their curriculum combines demanding academic content taught through a holistic approach that aims to inspire and enhance all of a child's capacities. Their goal is to "foster a spirit of inquiry and love of learning that prepares children to thrive in the challenging, complex 21st century world". Each classroom has it's own blog. For instance if you wanted to look at the blog page for preschool or year1-2, they are accessible from the homepage. Another very impressive blog.
