Thing #4

I believe that commenting on other followers blogs is really a great thing and it does create a sense of community. Having someone tell me that I have posted something that they like or want to use in the future makes me feel good. And even the opposite way around, if someone were to tell me that I needed to improve or fix something lets me know that they care. Having the perspective of someone else is always a good thing even if you don't agree with them. I chose to follow several classmates blogs to follow.


First I followed Ariel Griffth http://agriffith3.blogspot.com/. Ariel and I went to the same high school so I decided to follow her. She has some good post and great ideas. We has a lot of similar thoughts for example how we felt about the RSS reader.


Rebecca Black http://becca-black.blogspot.com/. Rebecca and I went to London on Spring Break together with our English class so I started following her. We also had a lot in common such as we both loved iGoogle.


Caitlin Ladd http://caitlinfaith.blogspot.com/ I met Caitlin in this class because we just happened to sit next to each other. We are both special education majors which I thought to be very cool. I think that she will be a great teacher and she has some great ideas.


Hayli Wrigley http://haylilen.blogspot.com/. I have had both of my education classes with Hayli this year so I thought I would follow her. Hayli was also not very fond of the RSS feeder either.


Last out of our class I chose to follow Samantha Lambright http://samanthalambright.blogspot.com/. Samantha is my roommate and best friend. So of course we have some of the same likes and ideas on most things.


I also chose to follow two other blogs that I liked. The first one is Cool Cat Teacher Blog http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/ and Love2Learn2Day http://love2learn2day.blogspot.com/. I commented on both of their blogs. The Cool Cat Teacher blog I found a blog about technology and told her about our class and how we just talked about social networking in the classroom. Then on love2learn2day I saw a blog about remaking classroom a organizing it. It was amazing! I believe that both of these sites will help me when I am a teacher in many ways. I hope to still have them to follow.
