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 have tried to be very careful leaving comments as I don't want to discourage anyone in any way or say something irrelevant. Even after reading the guidelines I am still very hesitant to leave a comment. I also don't want to say something that will be taken wrong so, I go back and reread my comment a couple of times. Some people can easily and quickly rattle off a comment but, that is not me.
I love getting comments as it encourages me to continue to work and do the best I can. It is great to know that someone is out there reading my stuff. An online class would not be very successful if you could not send comments. I am glad we are able to read what others are doing and receive comments from all. It allows us to learn more. I feel I have learned just as much from the participants as I have from the Things.
If a student is writing for a large audience and receiving encouragement from multiple people, they are destined to succeed and do better.

I agree!!!!! Posting comments can be intimidating. It feels safer when people do not know who you are. I liked and agreed with your comment about how positive comments can affect student achievement. This definately helps the learning process.
