Sharing
A main goal of using blogs and wikis is collaboration. We have already collaborated on the project by sharing our delicious marks and by helping each other use the wiki. I am extremely proud of how well you have done with helping each other. In order to share more, we are going to read each others wikis and make comments. Making a comment is not as easy as it may seem. I have included some [|guidelines] below that I would like you to use, including some sentence starters.

Good or Bad Comments?????
"Dude, you rock." "Great job." "I didn't get what you were saying." "Huh?" "Good Wiki. I learned a lot."

Do any of these comments help? Do they tell you anything? One thing we have to learn is how to make good comments.
 * No.**

Reading a wiki or blog
Here are some things you should do to while you are reading a wikipage or blog that I took from [|Digitally Speaking]:


 * 1) **//Gather Facts: //**  Jot down things that are interesting and new to you
 * 2) **//Make Connections: //**  Relate and compare things you are viewing and hearing to things that you already know.
 * 3) **//Ask Questions: //**  What about the comments and presentation is confusing to you? What don’t you understand? How will you find the answer? Remember that there will ALWAYS be questions in an active thinker’s mind!
 * 4) **//Give Opinions //** : Make judgments about what you are viewing and hearing. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Like? Dislike? Do you support or oppose anything that you have heard or seen? Why?
