Blogging
We have tried blogging in my class a few times now. I want to know how it is working for you. What do you think about blogging in class? What are good things about it? Are there any problems? How can we encourage thoughtful discussion?
We came up with some guidelines for commenting on blogs. Here are our ideas:
Blogging Guidelines
1. Be polite!
2. Make sure other people can understand your comment!
Be specific and clear about what you are saying.
If you are answering a question, copy and paste it into your comment so people know what it is.
You can also copy and paste part of someone elses comment into yours if you are talking about it.
If you use someone else’s words, let us know!
3. Don’t repeat other people
4. Stay on topic.
5. If you are giving an opinion (“it’s cool”, etc.), tell why you think that.
6. Ask questions that make people think.
7. Say things that make people think!
