I have never put much thought behind commenting on blogs until Thing 11. Before now, I focused solely on my grammar, spelling, and message. After reading Lollis' and Coke's blogs (and a few others), I began to think of how their thoughts can inform my teaching and/or blogging. When responding to Coke's blog, my original purpose was to find out how she adapted her lessons for students that did not have home Internet access, but by the end of my comment I had taken a tangent as I thought of a way to implement student blogs in my teaching. The reflection process can work much the same for students. It can force them to think of questions that their peers may have overlooked and inspire them to go off on their own writing tangent.
