Tool #2 Building Community

I am excited about being part of Spring Branch's and the world's online education community! I think personal learning networks are the wave of the future, and we need to jump in ASAP! This is going to open up immeasurable opportunities for teachers and students alike.
In the commenting/blogging advise, one sentence that stuck with me was "comments turn statements into conversations". This is so true. The list of 10 things to consider when writing on your blog (or commenting) were very helpful, also. Putting questions in your title, inviting comments, and being humble and gracious seem like good techniques to follow to make your blog successful. I am busy taking notes as I learn so I can revisit these strategies to help me commit them to memory.
I enjoyed reading the blogs that were provided for us and making my comments. Hopefully I will get some responses! I chose Teachpaperless, English with Rosa Classroom Blog, Mrs. Yollis' Classroom Blog, American Presidents Blog, and The Cool Cat Teacher Blog.
Now let's see what Tool #3 holds.
