I guess I’ve been lucky. I have blogs here on edublogs as well as a blog on blogger, and although I get the occasional spam comment, it happens rarely. I wonder if it is because your blog is self hosted? What a pain, though! I know that when I do get the occasional spam comment, I find it annoying and ridiculous. Do spammers really think that by leaving a nonsense comment and link on your blog that you are going to click there and then spend money?

I don’t know. The percentage of comments on my blogs that are not from humans is simply amazing. I feel the recent anti-spam tools are good, but it’s still amazing how much comes through for my review – which I then toss out. I appreciate your guidelines, but wonder about the future of blogging and comments in general. There are some big problems with blogging. And nofollow didn’t seem to fix them…

Hi!

A couple other sites to really rev things up…

Animoto is a site that will create a movie with the images (or movie clips) you upload…then you can embed that in your blog.
http://animoto.com/

Jumpcut is another on-line movie-creation site. You have more control in the design of this one. You can still embed it in your blog as well.
http://www.jumpcut.com/

And better yet, both allow you to make comments on the movies others have made!

Great job!
Adam

Hi Tech Explorers, Mrs C from Australia here. I am looking forward to hearing some of your podcasts. My grade will be starting on some podcasting too soon, they just need to sort out their ideas first.

We have a couple of Voki on our class blog that you might like to see for some ideas – there are some great ones on the web that inventive people have come up with!

Thanks for mentioning us in your post. Some of the students have been into our blog and my students’ blogs to leave comments. It is such an easy way to keep a conversation going. At present I am including the images as I am trying to make sure the students understand they can’t just copy any picture from the web. I am always trying to use flickr cc – which is the creative commons version.

This is very interesting. I am new – first day blogging. Will try out the image generators and see how creative I can be.

These image generator sites look really interesting. A great idea to allow students to use their creativity. Isn’t the blogging world wonderful for picking up new ideas and learning more about what others are doing in their classrooms? Thanks for the links.
