I have passed your tip on to <A HREF="http://theedublogger.edublogs.org/2009/04/18/parents-comments-count/" REL="nofollow">Sue Waters</A> who is currently trying to find ways of encouraging parents to read blogs, never mind commenting on them.<br /><br />Hey, it's great to have you visit my pad. drop in again some time soon!<br /><br />Catchya laterBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-4481565451366240902009-04-20T14:10:00.000-07:002009-04-20T14:10:00.000-07:00The thought of going back to the read only web and...The thought of going back to the read only web and calling it a blog is not a good one. Glad you 'lured' Michele over here to explain she was writing tongue in cheek. It is rare enough to get breadth to a conversation about a blog post with the easy-to-use comments box supplied. If people had to respond from their own blog you would be limiting the range of contributions even further.<br />BTW, on a tengent, I found at a recent home-school-partnership where we got the parents onto the student blogs to leave comments that the word verification is a huge barrier to leaving comments. Granted this is a Decile 1 community (NESB and lmited access to computers), but I struggle with reading the things myself!<br />DorothyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486794203463798461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-20400496423817739032008-05-10T17:42:00.000-07:002008-05-10T17:42:00.000-07:00@Michele - I haven't put a comment on Stephen Down...@Michele - I haven't put a comment on Stephen Downes' blog since the start of the 31 Day Challenge. His blog software does not permit tagging a comment - I understand that it's his own code too. Fair enough. At least he allows comments to be posted. But I have a mission :-)<BR/><BR/>Stephen might get a comment from me in a week's time.<BR/><BR/>CheersBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-32743375796034580942008-05-10T04:30:00.000-07:002008-05-10T04:30:00.000-07:00Hi Ken and Britt--Yes, I was playing devil's advoc...Hi Ken and Britt--Yes, I was playing devil's advocate. I remember awhile ago reading something Stephen Downes wrote about thinking that we should be using our own blogs for commenting, rather than commenting on his, so I thought it would be interesting to have us intentionally explore whether or not comments are the way to go. I can see that I ruffled a few feathers in the process. :-)Lovekandinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971255476487539791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-79033172911378064642008-05-09T18:31:00.000-07:002008-05-09T18:31:00.000-07:00Yes Britt, I am in no doubt that you're correct. M...Yes Britt, I am in no doubt that you're correct. Michele got me working on the homophily thing a few days ago. She suggested that the Internet might be making people stupid. <BR/><BR/>I think that was just another of her ploys. As you say, "devil's advocate" (! Don't take offence if you ever read this Michele! I think you're great!)<BR/><BR/>But now look what I'm doing. Far from getting dumber, I've learnt more on blogging and writing comments in the last 10 days than I did through all the years since I first heard about a discussion board.<BR/><BR/>That "richness" <B>is</B> meaningful. Strength in diversity is what the geneticists say.<BR/><BR/>Cheers from Middle-earthBlogger In Middle-earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722634477041121797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107060758629396184.post-66573149935753737092008-05-09T16:50:00.000-07:002008-05-09T16:50:00.000-07:00I have to admit I had problem with her post as wel...I have to admit I had problem with her post as well...but I suspect that she is playing the devil's advocate. I would hate to see one size fit all for blogging - it is the richness of bloggers and commenters that makes this so meaningful!Britt Watwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487014790973980773noreply@blogger.com
