I love communication so, I love to leave comments. There is really nothing that I dislike! I like to see what's going on with people and sharing insight, feelings, etc. I think that blogging in general is a great way to see what's going on with those around you in a short period of time.
How did you feel when you received your first comment?
It was nice to see that people were actually reading what I wrote and had input about it!
Why do you think commenting is so important in online communities?
Without comments I feel like you are talking to a wall. LOL!! It's nice to know that you're writing for a purpose and that someone is actually reading what you are writing. Isn't that the purpose for blogging in the first place...to share and connect with others?? : )
What might this mean for students who share their writing online?
I believe that it allows students who otherwise wouldn't feel comfortable sharing to be more open about it. Also, it may allow for collaboration between students who normally wouldn't work together in class. I think it gives students a sense of freedom.
In addition, many of my students LOVE computers. They are more willing to complete tasks that are on the computer. I think it's a interesting and fun outlet for them.
