I guess this is a good time as any to vent: I used to comment on everyone who posted by Saturday. Now I don't comment on as many because I got tired of week after week commenting on certain people's posts and those people never ONCE reading and commenting on mine. At a certain point I felt like they were posting early in the week, commenting on each other's, and then when most people posted on Fridays, they were already "done" and chose not to interact with the rest of the class. The other problem is that some of the class does not even post until Sunday, and I can't wait until then to do my comments. I have to be writing my reflection on Sunday. I feel like I miss out on what they have to offer. I would comment on them after Sunday if I had the time, but I don't until the end of the week, and then we are on a new topic.
I learn a lot from reading everyone's posts. There are so many great ideas and viewpoints I can relate to. It just irritates me when it seems that some are not doing their part and contributing to the learning community. It makes me feel like I can't do my part.
O.K. Venting's done. I feel better getting that off my chest. It's been a rough week.
If anyone's out there...I would appreciate some feedback on my philosophy. I had my husband read over it, but...
