Thing #4

• Commenting on others' blogs can be impportant for validating what we are doing as students. We are trying to learn about technology and come up with ways to make it fit and make it useful in the classroom. Interaction is key in the classroom and if we can find ways to keep students engaged with eachother outside of class, that's even better. 
• I found the article "How to comment like a king! (or queen) to be very helpful and detailed. I like the idea of joining a site like co comment to follow all of the comments that you get as well as the ones that others post on your blog. The article about blogging etiquette was interesting to read and made me aware of certain things I could do to provoke more attention to my blog and how to respond to others' comments tactfully and punctually. 
• I am currently following Equinelvr (Lbarth), Jessica Daigle, Jodi Trog, Han Solo and CdeBaca, JPertl, and Raquel  Watters. I chose these because their posts were interesting to me and some of them I know personally from previous classes. Other blogs that I am following include Blogger Buzz and Learning to Blog and Blogging to Learn. I chose to follow these in an effort to help me with my efforts in blogging. 
• I mostly made comments on people's blogs that I related with. I enjoyed reading others' experiences about creating the blogs, they were funny and made me feel like I was not the only one that was over whelmed.
