In reading blog posts from two other bloggers, I gathered some interesting ideas.
Blue Skunk says we all want to be heard. Leave a comment: "agree, disagree, add, or just say thanks, but make it heart-felt."
Cool Cat Teacher gives many helpful suggestions in becoming an effective commenter on blogs.
- Be meaningful
- Link to your own blog
- Share about yourself in your blog's profile
- Use a comment tracking service
- Teach kids to comment
- Beware of "Darth Commenter" - "They know the psychological stress that unkind commenting can cause in a new blogger."
- Criticize kindly
I enjoyed the cool cat teacher blog too, but it is a little scary to see what all students could do.
