Bloging is a new to me. I have never had a blog before, and had only read a couple of blogs of friends and family. Of the blogs I have followed I have never commented on them, so pretty much everything about bloging is a new expereince for me.
Commenting on interesting blogs and not just reading them creates an opportunity for communication between the reader and the bloger. It allows the person who has the blog to know that people are out there reading it and our interested in the bloger continuing. It also helps to shape the content of the blog to what is interesting to the flowers of the blog. Two points that I found important about bloging are to not be afraid to comment, and if you have a critique to do so as nicely as possible.
For the assignment I chose five of my classmates Blogs to look at and comment on. I choose the following five to comment on because after reading their blogs for different reasons, I had something that I wanted to share.
On Brokaw Spring 2010 Blog, I commented on her Blog, because I really like the video that she did for Thing # 21.
On Michelle Journey Through The Web Blog, I commented on her posting for Thing # 3 because I also want to teach Elementary School and found her idea of using the blog to communicate with parents a very easy, yet effective method of communication.
On The 23 Things Blog, I commented on her post for Thing # 7, of her pictures of snorkeling off the coast of Cozumel Mexico, I have also done this and really enjoyed it.
On haileyknowlton -5540 Blog, I commented that I too think a blog is a great tool for students to ask questions, especially for those students who do not feel comfortable asking their questions in class, a blog is safe place they can ask questions and get feedback.
For my fifth post to a classmate’s blog, I commented on McNealEDUC5540 Blog because I agree that I to feel I might "need an organizer for my organizer soon". In reference to Google Reader, once you add a bunch of sites, then you have a lot going on and a lot to read.
For the first blog I choose to comment on one that I have recently discovered. I commented on a fitness blog that has great information. I commented that I found the information useful. I made this comment because I would like to encourage this blog to continue.

I also commented on my sisters blog which is all about her daughter Camilla. Now that I know how easy it is to comment I think it will be fun to comment on all of the cute stories. My sister and I are very close and it is hard for me not to be able to see my niece very often, but this blog helps me and other family members who live in different places to be connected with what is going on in the first days and months of Camilla. For this site I commented that I really enjoy reading the blog and that it helps me feel that I am not missing as much. I made this comment because I want her to know that the blog is being read, and enjoyed.
