C4K Summary Post 1

C4K #1

The first student I got the privilege of following is Aaron from Ms. Lugrin's class. Ms. Lugrin teaches 6th grade in Canada! I was very excited to be following a student from another country.

The first blog that I read by Aaron was about a skiing trip he took in Asessippi, Canada. He was there with his friend Jesse and they skied on several runs, including one called "Extreme Plunge!" This is what I had to comment on his first blog:

Hey Aaron, my name is Jenna Baxter and I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I am in a class called EDM310, and we get the privilege to read blogs from other students from around the world and comment on them. You are the first student that I get to comment on! I really enjoyed hearing about your skiing trip. It sounds like a lot of fun! I live in Alabama and we rarely ever get to see snow, much less go skiing! You seem really adventurous for going on a run called the "Extreme Plunge." Did you ever catch up with your friend Jesse? I hope he did not desert you for long! How often do you get to go on ski trips? I know it must be beautiful! I look forward to following your blog! You can follow my blog at baxterjennaedm310.blogspot.com.

The next student that I was able to comment on was a girl named Yasmine in Mr. St. Pierre's class. Mr. St. Pierre teaches 5th grade at Terryville Elementary School in New York. In Yasmine's blog, "Take a look at this!, she is showing pictures of some animals she saw in her backyard. She took a picture of a blue jay, a raccoon, and a cat, which she posted to her blog. Here is what I had to say to Yasmine:

Hey Yasmine, my name is Jenna and I am a student at the University of South Alabama. I am taking a class called EDM310, and in this class we get to comment on student's blogs from around the world. You are one of the students I get to comment on. I really think you did a good job on your blog post. I thought it was cool how you added pictures to your blog so we could see the animals that you saw. Is that your cat in the last picture? I have a cat of my own, named Saban, but I am not sure how he would react to raccoons being in his yard! Well, good luck in your classes and continue to do a wonderful job blogging!

C4K#3

The third student that I got to comment on was Rauf. Rauf is a fifth grader at Pt. England School in Auckland, New Zealand. His teacher is Ms. Squires. Pt. England School's blog page was nominated for the best class blog by Edublog in 2009. The blog that I got to comment on was an acrostic poem. This is what it said:

Eats lots
Smiles most of the time
Rides his bike for fun
Always listens to his friends
Hides in lots of places

Here is what I had to say on his blog:

Hey Rauf, my name is Jenna Baxter and I am a student at the University of South Alabama majoring in Elementary Education. I live in Mobile, Alabama (United States). I am taking a class called EDM310, in which we get to comment on other students blogs from around the world. I am commenting on your blog and a summary will be posted to my blog, which you can view by clicking here. First of all, let me say you are the farthest person from the United States that I have been able to comment on, and I am very excited to be able to view and comment on your blog. I really enjoyed reading your poem and, believe it or not, it really relates to my life! I love to eat, smile a lot, ride bikes, and I try to always listen to my friends. Is this poem about you? Also, what does ESRAH stand for, is it someone's name? If that is a crazy question, I am sorry! Once again thank you for letting me view and comment on your blog!
