Thing #4

       Commenting helps create a sense of community through thoughtfully reading the blogs. By doing this you can get to know your fellow classmates and they get to know you as well. Commenting on each other's blog is a great way to give and receive constructive criticism. One of the things that I found interesting was what Vicki Davis wrote on her blog, coolcatteacher, write a meaningful comment. I think it is so important to write something considerate,thoughtful and that is knowledgeable. The second point in the readings is from problogger, asking specific questions in posts. This is a great way to find out how other people feel about a certain subject or problem you may have. I chose these blogs to comment on vwinn23things, lancaster23things, kanikaapsu23things, mcneily23things and shammontrees23things. These blogs had a certain subject I felt compled to comment on and some of them were just entertaining.

      The other two outside blogs I chose to use are:

   I have been following this blog for about 4 months now. It is about a single dad who recently "came out". He is wildly entertaining and finds humor in life's daily struggles.
