Why will not comments display on pages?                 Most Edublogs themes support comments on pages, however, there are a few themes that do not.

 Six activities for developing commenting skills    Here are some suggestions for activities you can use to develop your students’ commenting skills. 1. Commenting videos.   Videos provide an excellent explanation of the blogging, the commenting process, the impact of quality blogging on student literacy, and the importance of writing as a part of a global audience. 2. Create commenting guidelines for your blog.   Facilitate a collaborative discussion with your students to create your own commenting guidelines. Remember, use others’ guidelines for ideas but don’t copy others work without permission and acknowledgement. Here are some examples of commenting guidelines to look for different age group:   Sometimes commenting guidelines have more of an academic focus, like these ones from the old English 10 blog. Heather Alexander’s TAG approach that she uses for her year 9-12 students could be used for any age. TAG stands for:      ...

 Teaching Quality Commenting Skills     If commenting skills are not taught and constantly reinforced , there can be a tendency for students to limit their comments to thing like: “ I like your blog”, or  “ Cool!!!”, “ Awsom! ( Awesome! “). While enthusiasm is high with these sorts of comments, students are not developing their literacy skills or having meaningful interactions with other members of the blogging community. Conversations in the comment section of a blog are such rich and meaningful learning experiences for students.Conversations begin with high quality comments. Blogging is an authentic avenue for developing students literacy skills, when you invest your time in teaching, modeling, revising, and promoting high quality writing of comments, students can make great gains in their overall literacy development. Set your standards high from the start and reap the rewards!  Developing strong commenting skills also provides a good foundation for when...

 How comments work    By default, comments are enabled on all newly created blogs, and a comment form will appear at the bottom of posts and pages where readers can respond to what you have written. Note : Comments are disabled on pages by default and can be enabled.  Approved comments are displayed under the individual post or page. You just click on the post title or the comment link to read the comments. Threaded comments allow readers to reply to other comments inline/nested which encourages better discussion and responses. Threaded comment on a post  (here is an example of a threaded comment on a post). Dealing with comments  : The great thing about comment is you have control over moderation and approval. Refer to the following support documents for more information on dealing with comments. Comment moderation  Approving comments (  to see  edublogs.org ) Examples of comments on class blogs   These examples of comme...

  The aim of this step is to: 1. Explain how comments are used on class blogs. 2. Provide tips for teaching students quality commenting skills. Why   comments are important?  Kathleen Morris has shared some thoughts  on why comments count in a blog post: Comments turn your blog from a static space into an interactive space. They allow for back and forth conversation which can lead to a huge amount of learning. The fact that comments are not instantaneous ( like online chat ) can fuel deeper reflections, responses, and research. Comments allow for feedback, constructive criticism, and the adding of ideas and opinions to the original post. The content can grow and evolve. It can be encouraging for students to know they have an authentic audience who can connect with them. Commenting can be an ideal way for parents to  get involved in the classroom,( virtual parents helpers!) A single comment can be the start of a fantastic working relationship or fri...

 Commonly Asked Post Questions   Here the answers to commonly asked questions we receive into Edublogs Support: 1.  What does the “Not Found” message on my homepage mean?   By default, the front page of your blog is set to display your latest posts. If you delete the default “Hello World” post before you publish a new post then your front page will display ‘Nothing Found’, ‘404 - Not Found Error’ or something similar depending on the theme you are using. This message is displayed because there is nothing to display on your front page. 2. How do you delete the Hello World Post?   Every newly created blog is the same default layout with posts displayed on its home page with a “Hello World” post and ‘Sample’ page. You can delete this post at any time by going to Posts> All Posts.
