Commenting is important because it can bring about an interaction with people you may not know or people you may not talk to. It can help you realize that somebody else is having the same thoughts and ideas you are or it can help you by giving you advice for a problem of your own. Commenting can help you better understand the bloggers point of view by asking questions, or you can comment on it to give in put on your experiences with something. I definitley think commenting can be helpful and can help you gain knowledge.
The two posts that I read were Cool Cat Teachers and Ten Techniques to Get More Comments On Your Blog. I enjoyed reading both posts and could see why what they said made perfect sense in the blogging world. I liked the way Cool Cat Teacher said that you should care when you comment. If you comment and just say something like "yeah" or "cool", then your comment could go unnoticed and doesn't really have a point. If you comment saying "Yeah i totally agree because...." then you seem like you care a little more about what the blogger is saying. To go right along with the the Ten Ways post says that you should be humble when you comment or if you are the blogger be humble to your commenters. Saying "Thanks for your opinion" then your readers are much likely to come back to your blog rather than if you just had no response to their comment.
The first blog I commented on was Kelsi Clark's. On Kelsi's blog she said that in the 7 1/2 habits tutorial the last habit, play, was the hardest for her. I can relate because sometimes it is hard to remember to slow down and have a little fun. Another student had commented on her blog saying that you can think of ways to be productive but still relax. Like walking the dog, you can exercise, take the dog out for a walk, and still relax and enjoy the outdoors. I loved that comment!
The second blog i commented on was Lacera's Education 3040-01 blog. Lacera had a wonderful idea about using the blog in an art classroom. Even though I don't want to be an art teacher, I think it is a wonderful idea. It would give students an oportunity to voive their opinion about the artwork. The third blog I commented on was Emily Rittenberry's blog. My comment on her blog was about the idea she had to use the flickr mashups as an introductory project for her students. They could use flickr to put pictures of their hobbies and family members while spelling their name for the classroom. I think it would be a very fun idea and it would also get the creative minds rolling!
The fourth blog I commented on was Samantha Fargis' blog. Her post about thing 2 said that during her blog making process she had some difficulty and I feel like I could relate to that while making my blog and especially my avatar. The last blog I commented on was Caitlin Hayes blog post about the habit number 3 in 7 1/2 Habits. Habit 3 was seeing a problem as a challenge and I shared a peice of advice my mother shared with me, because i also see number 3 as a hard habit.
