I have been blogging for about 9 months and have learned a lot because of my comments, questions and the responses that have come back to me from people like Sue Waters. You will pick things up as you go along. best wishes Sarah Hi there, great to read your post.

While I have never previously considered monitoring my own commenting, I do intend to use commenting on each other's blogs as a requirement for my students. I am hoping it will encourage their understanding of how to provide constructive critique, and to develop a sense of community. Sue, I like the idea of encouraging students to track their comments.

Not sure if you are subscribing to the comment feed from the Edublogger using Google Reader but that may make your task easier. I liked Gail's tips but quite a few of them I don't totally agree with. Take for example stay on topic. I really like the way you ask questions -- to me it means your thinking about the information and wanting to know more. Also the questions help me with my learning because I go good question I hadn't thought of that one and what is the answer. So my vote is for the questions.
