Thing #4

I have never owned a blog, but I have owned a myspace and facebook, and this is somewhat similar. I must admit that I am one who rarely comments on anything, I just read it and go on my way. However, after reading some of the discovery resources, I see the importance of it, and how it may create a sense of community and interaction. Most everyone I know of all ages are into some type of online social network, and an important part of the social network is commenting. Commenting can be used to catch up with on old friend, get to know some one, and just share personal beliefs and goals. With the internet and social networks being more popular than ever, I can see how commenting can create a sense of community.
I liked the "Drapes Takes" resources, because it taught me how to make my blogs a little more interesting.Like I said earlier, I have never blogged, and I do not think that i am good at it at all. I learned that I needed to to create interesting subjects, if I wanted other people to be interested enough to respond to my blogs. I also liked the "How to comment like a king or queen". On facebook, the only thing that I ever do, is hit the "like" button. I never comment, and tell one why it is that i like the comment. I am a very shy person, and even doing some thing like commenting on a random stranges blog is hard for me.However, now that I know how to properly comment,I now feel better about commenting on someone elses blog.
I commented on Anna Canaan, and Heather Atkins blog because I have been in classes with them prior to this one,and I also commented on Stacey Cox's blog because she sits beside me in class. Since I have had conversatins with them, I am interested in there blogs. The others i chose randomly, I commented on Gena Carters, and Margaret Brewer, because I was interested in what thought about creating blogs and using them in their future classrooms. Outside of our class, I commented on moes space, she had found a picture of a flower on creative commons, since I love flowers, it interested me and I posted about it. i also commented on lrichards blog, because I was interested in reading what she had posted about flicker.
I found blogs that were interesting to me, and I read them. All of the comments that I made were in agreement with the blogger. I do not like controversy, so I only chose the ones that i agreed with, haha. After this project, I will probably continue to make more comments.
