Tool 2

I can see lots of value in establishing a PLN especially in our field when we need to be networking with others across the nation. I'm wondering how this could work for our campus when doing a book study. There seems to be some possibilities there. Regarding the tips on commenting, I can attest to the one that says not everyone comments on blogs even though they read them. I've looked through almost all the postings done by teachers on my campus and did not respond to all. Each read was interesting and/or entertaining, but, I'm mindful of the time I have and want to spend on reading blogs. I did post comments to Alfredo, Headiyeh, Pedro, Stephanie Green, and Lisa White. There may have been others, but, can't remember now. I particularly want to reinforce the comment about disagreeing with what others write and criticizing their opinions in a respectful manner. I believe this to be crucial in building relationships and when we teach students to blog, we must also model for them how to disagree while remaining civil to each other.
