Thank you for checking out this blog. This is intended to be a teaching tool for my classes. Just a few quick rules. First, be respectful, tolerant and positive in your comments. Remember that this is an open blog and anyone (including your classmates) can see what you write. Do a good job! Second: You must post to my blog to earn your full class participation grade for that day. We blog on many, but not all days. Thirdly, your comments must be grammatically correct and spelled properly. Fourth: have fun!
Tell us what you think of this. For this and all comments, remember to respond using a full paragraph (3-5 sentences).

I think that this is something my class can handle. Were pretty mature for our ages and we get along nicely. I also think this is going to be a fun activity for us to do!
I think that this blogging site is a very good idea. Students will be able to comment their opinion and learn about current events happening. I love it! :]
I think the blog is a smart technological way to talk with other students on the same topics. I am thrilled to be taking part in this new way of learning! (:
I think this is a good way to communicate with your students. Setting up blogs is a way to get your students opinions. Blogging about different ideas will be a fun and different activity in class!
I think it would be a good idea. I used to have a blog with alot of friends. It was alot of fun ! :)

I think a blog would be an excellent idea. In my opinion doing a blog would be good to help our grades.This is a great fun activity for my class!
-Clarissa Brown
I personally believe that this idea is very good thought and can benefit many students, adults, and school officers. The Blog can allow all that are involved experience the opportunity to use our minds to express our opinions. Expressing our opinions on funny, political, and other stories and information can lead us to finding our place in society.
I think the blog is a good idea and is going to be a great experience. I can't wait to see the different post we are going to be able to blog about this nine weeks. This blog is a great way for us students to see each others opinions on certain things.

I like that we get to speak freely about the subject that Mr. Downing chooses. I think this is going to be a very fun activity for us to do. All in all I think that this blogging thing is a good idea.
I think this is a good way to show many people that everyone has their own opinion and it is a good healthy way to express them. This blog is also a potential way of meeting other class mates and learn how to coexist together without arguing. It also teaches us to be respectful and mindful of other people.

I think this is a great idea! It will get everyone involved. Everyone will be able to state their own opinion. It will be a fun alternative to bookwork!

This could go either way. Some people will actually respond to the posts. Some people won't even reply.
-Evan
I'm not that much of a blogger. most of the time I'm offline. But I'll see how this works.

I think this blog is a fantastic way to express our opinions and look at things from a different perspective. The blog will also benefit our grades greatly just by sharing our thoughts and learning new things. I hope other teachers take advantage of this brilliant idea and create a blog.

This is a great blog to show activities and fun things to share with other people. Its also funny!
I think its a good way to learn. I also think that it gives a fair way to decide the class work.
This is great Blog to show fun things to share with the world.
I’m excited that we will be blogging most days. As long as there are a diverse amount of things that Mr. Downing posts up there and he keeps it recent, then I’m happy about it. I think it will be a fun experience for the whole class. There also has to be good amounts of nutity in it.
I think this would be a great idea. Because it keeps the class doing something constructive
I think this is a great idea. sounds fun. I hope this isnt an everyday thing though.
