Responses to Others' Blogs

I am by nature a pretty private person. Putting my thoughts and writing "out there" for everyone to read/critique is hard for me, although I'm cognizant of the necessity of doing so.

Because I'm so hesitant to share, I find myself feeling awkward reading everyone else's blogs. I kind of feel like I'm peeping over someone's shoulder. Ugh.

I really like Misty's handling of the Infographic. It's concise, clutter-free, and wastes no time in communicating the message she intended. I like how well she has learned to let the photos do the talking for her! I'm still wrangling with my tendency to write everything instead of letting images do the talking for me. I need to emulate Misty's blog and method.

Damien's blog post is another example of getting a whole lot said while using few words. I like the concise nature of his sentences, the recommendation of a website, and I REALLY like the appearance of his blog in general.  It's always more pleasant to read something which is visually appealing. I find Damien's post neat, tidy and well-planned. I can't wait to try Scribblenauts. It should be a great asset for my STEM classroom.
