Thing #4

Blogging is a way for many people to communicate with others. Blogging allows people to read and respond to other peoples posts. I would not use this for my students since I teach first grade, but I would use it for parents. Blogging allows one to immediately post their reactions to the posts.

I found the 10 commandments very interesting. I think the first commandment is very important. That is to read the entire post before you respond. This is very important to help you avoid an open mouth insert foot moment. I know personally I have had to many of those.

I also found the how to post like a King or Queen very interesting. I think this site tells people the proper etiquette for blogging. This is important and hopefully everyone will follow them.

Class blogs that I have commented on:
Heather Adcock- I commented on thing #2. I selected this comment because I really liked how she described the 23 things experience as a journey.

Stacy Jones- I commented on thing #9. I really could relate to her frustration of not getting the sites to work. I thought her sign saying "Hang in there" was very cute and fitting.

Elizabeth Shepard- I commented on thing #8. I loved her idea of using students photos on badge maker, and turning them into a "get to know you" bulletin board.

Danielle (Marcy) Austin- I commented on thing #7. I enjoyed looking at the picture. Even though the picture seemed really gross, it turned out very humorous when I found out the man was drinking chocolate out of the toilet. Still gross, but funny! I posted because I thought the picture was a great find!

Lynette Miller- I commented on thing #9. I thought the smileys she created were interesting. I especially liked the one about how teaching is a gift that drives you crazy. I could not have said it better myself.

Outside of class blogs:
Christine Poindexter- I commented on thing #8. I knew Christine from outside of school and I have not seen her in awhile. therefore, I decided to post and see how she was doing, and to comment on her cute nephew.

ProTeacher- I posted about a story that they shared. I have been looking for the story since I did my student teaching. I finally found it and I wanted to thank the person.
