What do you like / dislike about leaving comments? How did you feel when you received your first comment? Why do you think commenting is so important in online communities? What might this mean for students who share their writing online?
I like having the opportunity to share my thoughts with someone experiencing a similar plight. I have always benefitted from reflective writing and commenting provides a forum to do just that. It forces me to organize my thoughts and write them down in a cohesive format. I enjoyed the comments left as they serve as encouragement to continue the journey. It also provides feedback on my thoughts as well as new ideas on how I might better use these new tools.
I believe students will benefit from the same things I listed above. It can be reflective writing or a forum to share their thoughts and ideas. It will "force" them to organize their writing if they want to be effective communicators.
A place to learn, share and reflect on all things APMS.
