I like to leave comments on blogs. I think that others really do want to know how their thoughts are received, so I feel like they are just waiting to hear from me! And, I love receiving comments, it is after all what we blog for. When I got my first comment on my personal blog I was so excited and it is disappointing when comments are not received. I want people to read what I write and have an opinion. Students definitely want feedback. They also want to supply feedback, we just need to make sure we help them understand the rules of commenting. To be able to post an idea, relay a fact, instruct, offer an opinion, and put it out there for the masses to read and comment on is powerful, and to be able to read someone's post and then give feedback is an opportunity.

You're right - receiving comments is very affirming. Just think how motivating blogging could be for students when they could receive comments from any where - not just their parents or teachers.
