I visited Mr. C's Class Blog of Noel Elementary School. The blog featured artwork from his 7th graders, and the quality of the artwork is on a professional level. I was astonished after viewing some of the drawings I really think that some may have been done by professionals. I commended Mr. C on his students efforts and his as well for bringing this out of the students.

I visited Dawso's Blog. She is a student in New South Wales, Australia. Her blog topic was about her blog avatar. It was a girl at the beach with a soccer ball next to her. Dawso said that she chose that design because she really likes the beach because it is beautiful and natural, and she also enjoys swimming. The soccer ball represented her love for sports. She enjoys playing soccer, netball, hockey, basketball, and tee-ball.

I visited a post by Taimana of PT England School, which is in Auckland New Zealand. His post was about leprechauns. In the short clip that Taimana included he explained that every leprechaun have a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The gold coins inside of the pot represents a year of the leprechaun's life, which I had not known, and the leprechauns always come out on St. Patrick's day to move their gold.

I visited Mr. McClung's 8th Grade World. The blog post was titled "The Scramble for Africa. They have been studying Imperialism and the interest of land and resources in Africa from foreign countries. The post featured four political cartoons. All of the cartoons were striking including the last one, which featured President Obama, with oil on his mind, heading towards a war torn Libya. He is carrying an assault rifle with 'intervention' written on it, and he is wearing a necklace with a peace medallion. Behind President Obama is a number of fighter jets. My comment explained why I liked the use of political cartoons to teach, which is that the truth will always be present in political cartoons.
