Communication is key. I think the most important part about blogging would be the comments you receive. Seriously, do we blog because we don't want the attention? I will get pretty bored if I don't have anyone commenting on my posts. I encourages all of us bloggers to use their valuable time sharing what they have learned and experienced.
I really enjoyed Problogger's 10 techniques on getting more comments. I enjoy open ended questions and the responses that come with them. It is a great way to learn new ideas and points of view. Since I plan on using a blog for my classroom I need to be careful and set boundaries on what the comments should contain. Students can say some pretty nasty stuff and I need to foster an attitude of respect for oneself, peers, and guests.
The five APSU student blogs I chose are:
Tabitha's Busy Life
Molly's Journey Through 23 Things
Fish's Blogs: Summarizing the 2.0 Experience
C McClenathan's McBlog
C. Sensing
I basically commented on different posts and their content. I gave my two cents on their ideas.
The two non-APSU blogs are:
13th Depository-a blog devoted to the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan
World History Teachers Blog
I chose these blogs because I love reading (especially the Wheel of Time) and history. It is quite enjoyable to comment and discuss different topics in my favorite genres.
