Comments for Kids Summary #1

The first blog that we were assigned to comment on was the manifesto, and I really enjoyed reading the one that my assigned student had written. In her manifesto, she pledged to make her eighth grade year a great one because she knew that the younger children in her school were probably looking up to her. I thought that this was such a nice thing to think about because she was aware that her actions were possibly going to influence others. One of the things that she promised that she was going to work hard towards this year was timeliness. She stated that she was going to do her best to get to school on time every day and that she would also try to turn all of her homework assignments in on time.

The next post that I commented on of this student's was one that talked about ways of staying safe while using the internet. I thought that the best thing that she included in this post was an acronym for remaining smart when you are on the internet. This was a great way to help others remember the rules of being safe on while working on the internet. She also stated that she has learned to never put personal information about yourself on the internet. This means to leave things such as your phone numbers and house address off of the internet.

I enjoyed reading and commenting on both of these posts. I feel like the student who I was assigned to comment on did very well with the posts that she made. It was good to see that both of the assignments given to her by her teacher were things that really made the students think and put their best foot forward in things that involved their academics and the internet. After these two assignments, all of the students in the class will now know what to do to stay away from possible dangers of the internet, and they will also have goals to keep up with throughout the rest of their school year. I thought that both of the assignments caused the students to think creatively, and that is always a wonderful thing in my opinion.
