Thing #4

I read the material provided and commented on five of my classmates blogs. There were some really helpful sites on their blogs. I also subscribed to Teachers.net, The Social Studies Teacher's blog and Cool Cat teachers. These blogs are filled with useful information and lots of support from other teachers. I simply googled teacher blogs and find more than I could possibly read.

I chose to read Shannon's, Abbey's, David's, Lori Gill's and Jeff's blogs. I chose them at random, because I don't really know anyone in our class. But I was glad that I did, because they posted some insights and websites.

Making well thought out comments on a blog allows other people to read your ideas and add their input. It is also important when commenting on a blog to make sure your response is well thought out and not just "I agree with you."

I complimented them on their choice of website to post and I really looked at them. They also had some interesting thoughts on how blogging could be used in a classroom setting.
