International Blogging

I actually found it quite difficult to find people who work in or with international schools who keep up with a blog. The first one that I did come across was of someone who is teaching at an international school in Guatemala City. I have been to Guatemala three times now, and my dream would be to teach there one day. This blog that Kelly Graves keeps up with with is mainly about her daily activities. Her blog can be read at www.kellyseagraves.blogspot.com. Most of the things that she spoke about had nothing to do with her giving others an education. She seems to be interacting with the people through things such as church and cookouts. It was fun to read, but I got nothing insightful from it. Below is Kelly with a friend eating hot dogs in honor of February.



The next blog that I found at http://theinternationalteacher.wordpress.com/ is one for the international teaching community. I think it is great to have such a blog like this where people who are interested in teaching somewhere other than a place like Mobile, Alabama can find out more information dealing with it all. The most recent post talked about finding that "fit" in the perfect international school for you. Not all schools are meant for every teacher, but the majority of the posts deal with schools that are out there who are in need of someone to teach there. Like I mentioned earlier, teaching in Guatemala would be absolutely amazing, so a blog such as this one could be and is actually very helpful to me in deciding what I want to do with my career.
