Web 2.0: Collaborating with Other Student Blogs!


Now it's time to start collaborating with your classmates.

1) Go to your Dashboard and enter the URL's (found in the comments section on my blog) of each blog to the 'Blogs You Are Following' section on blogger.

2) Post at least 2 comments to different classmates' posts. Choose a classmate that is across the room and not sitting on your right or left. The comment will be related to one of their posts and something you learned about them or any contribution that is positive.

3) One of the comments you post should contain a link to another student's blog. An example would be: "Check out Anthony's blog, his pictures are amazing!"
HTML Coding: <a href="url">Link text</a>

4) If someone posts a comment on your blog and has a question, please respond.
