Thing #3 How do I pick one?

Blogs are pieces of writings, long or short, on any topic. Those who read them decide what they want to do: simply read, add more information, make a comment, agree or disagree. Some blogs have hot button questions that get readers thinking and wanting to discuss the topic further. A good example of this is dy/dan (Mr. Meyer) and his Why I don't assing homework blog. Other blogs may simply be a compilation of interesting facts, information, pictures, etc. Since I am a language teacher, I find myself attracted to teaching and cultural blogs like: The language learning blog and Ecuador por descubrir

  1. How did you feel about Mr. Mayer's blog?

    When you go to teaching and cultural blogs, do you post often to them or mostly just read?

  2. I usually just read.....but sometimes the topic requires a comment. How about you?

  3. I must admit that prior to doing this project I was a blog "lurker"--more of a reader than a commenter. But since I have the existing connection with people in the building, I very much want to comment on your blogs.

  4. I too find it exciting to see what others in this 23 Things journey are sharing in their blogs. I wonder if you have your students read or write blogs? That might prove an exciting assignment.
