Thing #4

Commenting within a blog allows students to discuss, agree and disagree in many aspects of learning. It creates a sense of community within the blog and students often are able to become a part of each others lives and lessons.

I found the 10 commandments very interesting. Especially the last one. I know myself I have subscribed to podcasts and videocasts this summer and have not visited them since subscribing. I also agree heavily with number 1, which is read it before you respond. We try to teach children to think before they speak and many times we forget to follow the same rule.

I also enjoyed the coolcatteacher blog. The information on commenting was an excellent way to express how and why we comment.

Cindy's Blog
I commented in response to her question about uploading the picture and the difficulty I had with it.

Lynette's Blog
Lynette had a great point about animoto being so easy, that you did not need the tutorial they gave you. I agreed with her and discussed creating them for students and teachers.

Sara Kim's blog
I commented on Sara's comment about apsu using blogs for reflections as students. What an awesome idea and focus for the college students. We can utilize these so many ways.

SJones' Blog
I really enjoyed the hang in there pic. I also commented on the idea of using image generator for rules and procedures. What a great way to go over needed but boring info.

Gwen Gibbons Blog
Gwen posted a video "Teachers are mirrors". It is absolutely wonderful and very motivational. I wish it could be shared with my faculty.

This is an article about apple computers being created a cheap prices. Like this is a new thing. I commented that it has been this way for a while.

I commented on this story about college students that had to remove political signs from the dorm windows. I feel they have a right to peacefully proclaim their choice for president.
