Commenting
Commenting is really important in the blogging world because you can discuss ideas that you and another person agree on or disagree on. You can also help introduce new ideas to others. When you disagree with someone you can elaborate and back up your argument with facts or links to other websites.
The first blog I commented on is Simplicity Photography. She has a blog for her photography and this appeals to because I am an art major.
The second blog I found that is really helpful for me is a crafting blog. She has all kinds of crafts that I could use in my future art class. She has a post about crafts for boys and boys are sometimes hard to please when it comes to crafts, but she had some really great ideas.
My peers that I commented on were:
I commented on Jill's because what she said in her first post opened my eyes and I really liked the way she worded "naming her blog".
She wrote about how her professor helped her create her blog. My art professor also helped me create my first blog in my electronic imaging class.
Megan had some really great ideas in her thing three. I really liked her "On this day in history" idea.
She talked about how she uses her iPad too read and I do too! We can use our iPads in our future classrooms.

Jared talked about using a blog for his students to use and post their work. That would be perfect for me to use in my art class and my students could post their artwork.
I found an important point for Doug Johnson's Blue Skunk Blog. He makes a good point about how people like knowing that other people are reading their blogs, and to let people know you're reading their blog you comment on them. I know I get excited when people comment on my blog. Commenting just lets people know that their writing for a purpose.
The second important point I found was in Drape's Takes. When you comment you are making a relationship with the writer and the reader. That's important because it shows the writer that readers care and when the writer comments back, it shows the readers the writer cares. It causes electronic an electronic relationship.

ReplyDeleteThose paper snakes are really cute! And you're right, boys are harder to please when it comes to arts and crafts because they think it's "girly," but we as teachers have to adapt to the class and learn how to make our subject interesting so that the kids will be engaged in learning.
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporate screen shots in your blog! I had no idea what a paper snake was, but seeing the picture helped! I am not much of a crafts person, but maybe that is reinforcement that boys are harder to please when it comes to crafts. But I think I would have really like the snakes when I was younger.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed looking at the blogs you found while researching. Simplicity Photography was a great blog full of beautiful photography. Thanks for sharing!
