on commenting
Educational blogging is different than other social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook. Here are some things to consider when commenting on someone else’s blog entry in an educational setting:
- Write meaningful comments
- Show the writer you “hear” them
- Share some of yourself when you comment
- Criticize kindly
• Will it make a difference?
• Focus on content more than surface errors
• Is my perspective already shared in the comments?
• Start by genuinely complimenting the author
• Point out each area of disagreement and why in a brief, non-rantish, professional manner.
• NEVER: Be sarcastic, rant prolifically, curse, or personally attack a person.
Procedure for commenting:
• Introduce the quote. Begin with something about what the blogger said like “I noticed…”
• Insert the quote. Use quotation marks.
• Interpret the quote. Why do you think the blogger said this? What are your thoughts on it?
