First Blog Post Comment:

In my first comment on the blog post, I wrote that I am a student from the University of South Alabama and how it was a privilege to be able to read and comment on her blog. I shared that I writing a blog for my EDM 310 class and left the link for in it in the comment as well. I wrote that I come from a traditional background in teaching and that all of this new technology can be overwhelming. I explained that at one time, one could call me technologically illiterate and how that has drastically changed after I started college. Also in my comment I included that access to this blog has given me great insight to new and interesting programs such as Creaza and Mindomo. I also noted that I will keep this blog in mind as I start my teaching career!

Second Blog Post:

The second post I commented on in Eva Buyuksimkesyuan's blog is a Lesson Plan for Valentines Day. The lesson plan is very interesting and creative. It allows the students to coordinate their learning of words and phrases and what they mean, with Valentines Day.

In my second comment on the blog post, I informed Mrs. Buyuksimkesyan who I was and where I came from again and I have been given the chance to follow and comment on her blog. I wrote that I loved the lesson plan idea and how cute and creative it was. I especially commented on how she coordinates Valentines Day with the children's need for learning words and phrases and there meaning. I noted that I would definitely keep this lesson plan in my mind for future reference in my teaching career.
