- What do you notice about the genre of blog writing in general?
I’ve been a blogger since almost day one. I honestly believe that blogs are going to be how we are going to be able to get our children to write more therefore think more! I love to blog and to me, it’s like brushing my teeth, I HAVE to do it every day.
- (How) is blog reading different from other types of reading? How is it similar?
Reading blogs are like reading someone’s mind. I believe when people blog they are writing with feeling and from the heart.
- How does commenting contribute to the writing and meaning-making?
Comments are crucial to a successful blog. When you write your blog it’s so great to see how others feel about your writing. It also allows you to see new ideas about what you’ve written or other points of view.
- Is there a “blogging literacy?” How does blogging affect the way we read and write?
I honestly believe blogging will help literacy. Allowing children to write their feelings, in their own words and expressions is the KEY to keeping them interested in writing.
- (How) can blogging facilitate learning?
Using a blog as a learning tool for the classroom gives children ways they can express their feelings about assignments, a book, writing..etc! Social networking is the key to getting our children excited about reading and writing.
