Summary

I watched a video on the correct way to leave a comment on a blog. The directions were given by Mrs. Yollis, and her directions were very easy to follow. As Mrs.Yollis gave instructions she the video followed her every step of the way. I will save this post as a draft for the summary thats sure to come later.

Summary

I went to Mrs.Yollis Blog, and I visited all of her links to get the big picture of her Blog. I liken it to a virtual yellow pages. Every thing was well thought-out and executed. She had a link to introduce her self, for those who weren't familiar with her. She introduced her class via a picture. That way you can see what the bloggers look like. Mrs.Yollis posted a video which shows how to leave a proper comment. Afterwards, she gives instructions in text, on HTML. The instructions shows how to write words in italics, how to bold words, and how to create hyper-links. I really enjoyed the hyper-link section as it taught me a few tricks. One in particular, was to copy instructions for HTML to your desktop, and they will always be there if and when you need them. Mrs. Yollis was well aware of the immense size, a blogger faces, when blogging. She has several clocks, with all the time zones, listed and running on her blog. She knew people all over the world, would be responding to her blogs, and she would be returning the favor. Knowing that people from all over the world would want to know about where she lived, Mrs.Yollis decided to treat her audience to a virtual tour of California. She has a link for games, homework and many other topics. Mrs.Yollis really designed and built her blog for ant possible scenario. Great work indeed. I will certainly use her ideas, when I enter teaching.


C4K #10

Summary

Mrs. Yollis and her third graders, posted on Dr.Strange's Blog. They wanted to discuss, how there was a contest, initiated by Mrs.Yollis, for leaving good comments, after blog post. Adia, Hanna, and Gracie, discussed in their blog, all the the ingredients, to leave a great comment. The winner of the contest was Jaden. He was very humble, and commented, on how nice it was, to be communicating with college students, who are sharing their blogs, with Mrs Yollis, and the class. Jadens' last suggestion, to EDM310, was to make sure every post, is checked before posting. He continued, by saying, sometimes things look a little different, the second time you read it. His point was well noted. I hope everything is ok with this summary, as I have re-checked it. That being said, I will miss my C4K visits, but will stay in touch, by blogging.
