Thing #4

Commenting on other people's blog is a great way to share you own thoughts on the subject the writer is talking about. I think that when you are able to comment you are able to express your own feelings, which I think is the best part of blogging. Commenting on other's blogs also lets the blogger know that they are writing about something that is important. It is important for people to get feedback in everything they do. As a future teacher and maybe coach, I think it is really important to get feedback with evaluations, parents, tests scores, or even with a game score. In this profession it is important to know and want to learn and grow to better yourself as a teacher. When somebody comments on my blog it helps to give me another prospective of things and not just my own. I have chosen several classmates blogs to follow. 

The first blog I decided to follow was Ashlee Boyd's blog. I was really interested in reading what she had to say and we had the same thoughts on several different points. http://ashleeboyd23things.blogspot.com. 

I also chose to follow Cherie Manske's blog. http://23thingsjanell.blogspot.com. I think she had very good insight on the Things we have done so far and I think her work will be useful to me in the future. 

Anita Taylor's blog was another blog I decided to follow and comment on. I think she very insightful and will make a great teacher so it will be beneficial for me to follow her blog. http://ataylor29.blogspot.com. 

I chose to follow Derek Carroll's blog as well. The easy thing to say is that he commented on my blog and that we have had a class together so I decided to do the same, but as I started to look at his blog I noticed that he had so many great ideas. He will make a great teacher. I look forward to seeing more of the ideas he has as this project goes on. http://jcapsu44.blogspot.com

Last but not least, I chose to follow Shelby Burkhart's blog. I had a class with Shelby and I realized how enthusiastic about teaching she was. She has many great ideas and I look forward to seeing more ideas as she blogs more. http://burkharts23awesomethings.blogspot.com

I chose two blogs to follow that we outside of our class project that I think will benefit me as a future math teacher. I commented on these blogs because they both had so many great ideas for teaching math lessons and I wanted them to know that people appreciate them posting it. the two blogs I followed were "Math Teacher life" (http://www.educatorlife.com/mathteacherlife/) and "Love2learn2day"(http://love2learn2day.blogspot.com). Both of these sites will help me as a teacher and I look forward to getting to use some of their ideas in my classroom one day.
