End of 2nd Quarter

Good morning, bloggers.

I hope you enjoyed the experience of operating your very own personal blog. After next weekend you will no longer be able to access the site. I will archive your blog, but I need to clear seats for next quarter. If you need something from it for any reason, come see me and I can pull it up.

If anybody is interested in starting a personal blog outside of school, I suggest using WordPress or BlogSpot. They are both well-known and free blogging sites that are set up very similarly to Edublogs.

As for today, I’d like you to reply in the comment section and answer these questions for me. This is to give me an understanding of what works and what might need to be changed for the future of the class:

1. What did you enjoy most about the class?

2. What is something that could be changed to make it better?

3. What made this class successful for you? – OR – What could have made the class more successful for you?

4. If you started a personal blog outside of school, what would it be about?

5. Was the expectation of 3 posts and 5 comments: too much? too little? just right? What would be better if you didn’t think it was the correct amount?

6. How has the second quarter gone for you this year? What’s a class you’re enjoying?

7. What is one goal you have for the third quarter (could be in school or outside of school)?

That’s a wrap. If you need to get caught up on posts, go ahead and get that done.

  1. I mostly enjoyed getting a good grade in here. Like more rings to do and get free time sometimes. I think i was successful I have a high A in here. Too many comments we should only have to make 3. This class because its the easiest. To raise my GPA to 3.0

  2. Mr.Forbes,

    1. Blogging and playing the game 13.
    2. You don’t need to change anything about it. It’s fine the way it is.
    3. The blogging of events and other stuff was successful.
    4.It would be about anything, because I don’t like to blog about only one thing.
    5.The expectation of 3 posts and 5 comments was just right.
    6.Second quarter has been okay for me, but lots of homework. I enjoy your class and Women’s History class.
    7.One goal I have for third quarter is just to work hard on my grades and tests.

  3. Mr.Forbes,

    1. I liked that we can interact with other people in our class or other people that are public bloggers.

    2. You don’t have to change anything about your class because your class is lit!!

    3.This class made me accomplish my goal which was getting an A on this class, thank you.

    4. If I started a blog outside of school, it would be about artist and their music.

    5. This was the perfect amount of expectations because people can add a blog or a comment if they think it’s too little.

    6. This class was great, I’m enjoying Pre-Algebra and this class:)

    7. Third Quarter goal: Get all A’s and have fun!

  4. Mr.Forbes

    1. The thing that I enjoyed most about this class was that I got to talk about my car.
    2. If we could use google search instead of using wikimedia commons
    3. I could have been more successful if we could have used google search
    4. It would be about cars
    5. The expectation was just right
    6. Second quarter is good the class i am enjoying the most is pre-algebra
    7. A better grade in Pre-Algebra

  5. Forbes,

    1.What I enjoy most about class is that I got to express myself through blogging.

    2. I don’t know, I guess you could do challenges?

    3.What made this class successful for me was that it was silent, mostly.

    4.If I made a blog outside of school, then I would be talking food!

    5.I think it’s about right.

    6.I enjoy art because it is calming and relaxing. It like a stress reliever.

    7.My goal for third quarter is the same as last year.

    1. I enjoy blogging about quote and commenting on people blog.
    2. There is nothing you can change about this, it is awesome.
    3. Everyone being wonderful and nice.
    4. If i did a personal blog outside of school, it would b about quote because i really want people know.
    5. It was just right.
    6. The second quarter was funny and cool.
    7. Maybe get my grades up a little.

  7. Forbes,
    What I enjoy doing in this class was commenting on someone’s blog. I don’t know if there is something g to change. One thing that made me successful is writing blog. My personal blog outside of school would be about gaming. 3 post or 5 comment would be just right. The class I’m enjoying is Apply Technology because we have been having fun and making stuff. My one goal is to work hard.

  8. Mr.Forbes,
    Being able to talk to friends and also knowing who the other people in your class are.
    Not being able to choose cooler pictures outside of wikipedia commons.
    being able to look at other sites with more interesting posts.
    Probably gaming with friends or another set of Basketball related stuff.
    I think the 3 post and 5 comments was a little to much.
    The Class I always enjoyed is Ms.Stengel’s Class
    Joining Basketball

  9. MrForbes,

    What I enjoyed about the second quarter blogging class is how positive the attitudes were in the class, and how you were always humorous throughout class. I do not think that this class could get any better than it already is, I would change nothing. I thought this class was successful for me because this is something that I like to do, and would like to keep going. If I started a blog outside of school it would be about my daily life and what happened that day, and a little bit of a review blog. I thought the expectation of 3 blog post and 5 comments was just right because if you gave us more it would be likely that people would not follow through, because it would be too much. The second quarter for me is going very well, though the class I enjoy the most is this blogging class, I get to express my opinion and myself through my blog posts. My goal for the third quarter is to still express my opinion to the world, and be just as amazing as I was in this class in my other classes. I have to admit though, when this class is over I will miss all my classmates, and your positive attitude towards teaching!

  10. Mr.Forbes,
    1.Blogging and commenting on peoples amazing blogs
    2.Made sure I had 3 post and 5 comments
    3..I learned a lot because I didn’t really know how to do a proper comment and I had no idea how to blog so I learned some really new and cool stuff,and thats what made this class successful for me
    4.If I started an outside blog I would take suggestions from people and I would talk about what they wanted
    5.It was just right
    6.The second quarter is going pretty good just sad its ending,I am really enjoying home consumer science
    7.To be the best TA!!!
    Really loved having this class!!!

  11. Mr.Forbes,

    1. I enjoy being in your blogging class because It’s very fun typing and posting news and gaming stuff. 2. I think the “Wikimedia Commons” should be change to google because students cannot find the exact picture to put in their blogs. 3. This class made me successful by many ways, such as learning how to type, typing paragraphs, and posting thing so people can see. 4. If I would start a blog outside of school, it will be gaming. 5. I think 3 blogs and 5 comments every week is a little, you should change to 5 blog and 10 comments everyday. 6. The school year is pretty, the most fun class I have so far is chess. 7. My one goal in third quarter is get all A’s and not to fail mastery test in math. 😀

  12. 1. It was easy
    2. I know nothing about blogging so I don’t know what to say
    3. I wasn’t distracted and got my work done fast
    5. It’s a little small for me anyways I can finish 3 blogs in one class and do the 5 comments thing at home you should probably do 2 blogs and 5 comments for everyday
    6. None really
    7. To not slack on my work and pay attention

  13. Mr.Forbes,

    1.I enjoyed being in your class so then I can let some of my thoughts out and learned new thing like how to manage and start a blog if I want to make a blog.
    2.I think the Wikimedia Commons part of the deal limits us just a little bit too much, for example Vaenkee and I couldn’t even find a decent pic for League Of Legends besides some pics of some very good players and the title of the game, though I do understand the security and safety reasons behind it.
    3.I could of been more successful if i wasn’t gone for so long because I kept on getting sick.
    4.I wouldn’t know what to write or make a blog about outside of school.
    5.I think the amount of blogs is just right.
    6.I’m enjoying my sixth period but I won’t be anymore for long since the end of the quarter is nearly upon us.
    7.My goal is to attempt to get all A’s except in gym thats going to be a little bit rough.
    Bye bye I enjoyed my time here a lot Mr.Forbes.

  14. Mr. Forbes
    Nothing could make this class better
    Being able to check other people’s blog and other sites
    It would probably be about gaming and basketball
    It was just right because it was really fun posting and commenting
    I’m enjoying this class cause really fun to comment on other people’s blog
    My goal for third quarter is to play basketball have fun with my friends and getting good grades.
