This Thing goes with “to be a friend, you must first be a friend…” Two points that were made that I thought were important: 1) Respond with a meaningful comment. Just telling the blogger that you thought that was a good post---well, why did you like it? What made it resonate with you? It’s like asking one of my students what they liked about the field trip and they respond with “It was fun”. Uh, okay. Doesn’t help too much with making the next trip better! Same thing with blogging. What did you like about the post, so that I can write other meaningful posts? (On the other hand, at the least, you know SOMEONE was looking at your blog…). 2) Edublogger Etiquette: When to respond, when do you leave it alone? At this point in my learning, it’s like leaving a comment on a blog, respond if you have something meaningful to say! If someone leaves a comment that you find especially helpful/meaningful, respond back. If the commenter has asked a question, and it is a question that can be answered (and no one else has responded) then it would seem rude to not give a reply.
Here are the five blogs I visited and made comments:
Get in Gear
Hummingbird Library
Librarian Letty
Donna
Vanessa
I have a friend that moved and started her own blog so that her friends around the world could keep up with her, and I commented on a story she had posted. She is living in “A Whole New World”. Another blog that I keep up with and comment on is from a former church member that is a dentist. Her blog is titled “Through the Fire”. An additional blog that I have discovered through a teammate’s blog (she did this 23 thing project over the summer) is A Second Grade Teacher’s Blog. The author of this blog is very techno-savvy, and I commented on a cute Web 2.0 project she developed stemming from the book "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs".
