Thing 4

 Commenting is what keeps a blog going and is kind of what a blog is about. It creates a sense of community because more than likely you have the same people who come back to visit your blog and put in their opinions and comments. I found it important to know that there is an etiquette to being a part of blogs. You need to know that there are multiple ways to respond and I am sure that goes both ways. You making a comment is like voting and saying that the blog post is important.The first blog that I chose to make a comment on was Ashlee Boyd's Thing 16. As I was reading her post I realized that we had that one in common and I thought it would be nice to share that. My next post was to Kara Wyatt's Thing 21. Making the video was also my favorite and I really enjoyed finding and using that website. I think that it will be great to use in the classroom. My third comment was on Hannah Stone's Thing 12. She really liked the Google Calenders and even though I was not too keen on them at first, I know now that they can be very useful. My internship has shown me that this could be very useful for the company and keeping things organized. The fourth post went to Reneice Glasper's Thing 15. Wiki is such a tricky website to use by she had such a great idea. Letting the students use it for summaries would be a great idea. There would be different interpretations and in the end we could go over it as a class. My fifth post went on Darryl Haislip's Thing 6. I thought that the maps were also very useful and could be used in everyday life. We always want to teach our students about things that they can take with them and this is one of those things.  A post I chose outside of our class was from a website called A Cupcake for the Teacher.blogspot. It was on organizing you bulletin board supplies. Not being in my own classroom yet, this was a helpful hint for me. It is always nice to learn things from those who have already experienced it and she is still new, only teaching for 4 years. For my last comment on a blog I chose Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog on a Animoto video. I really enjoyed using that and she used it in her classroom for painting's that students were creating base on Van Gogh. I though this was a great idea and it could be put to use when I have my own classroom.
