Thing # 12
I read the 10 things to get more comments from your blog. I feel the top 3 would be the most reasonable and important with a classroom blog. Obviously, you don't need 22+ comments for each post, so when you require a comment, you must state so. That way the kids can know when they have the Right to Pass or not (Tribes). Then, be open ended, otherwise, there really won't be any comments to lead to a discussion. Another important idea is that specific boundaries do need to be set, otherwise, feelings could get hurt.

I think setting good ground rules is what will make online communication and collaboration work successfully in the classroom for sure! Part of the digital citizenship lessons we all need to be giving our kids. We give them rules to live by in the "real" world...we need that same set-up in the digital world...and I'm not sure everyone realizes that!
