Give the rationale for your choice as well(i.e., why do you think so).
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE GROUP BLOGS AND MAKE YOUR COMMENTS ON THESE BLOGS WITHIN THE BLOGS THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN INDIVIDUALLY.
2. Evaluate the group blogs that you have chosen according to the following criteria.
(TO BE DONE ON THE CLASS BLOG INDIVIDUALLY)
1= Strongly agree 2= Agree 3= Neutral 4= Disagree 5= Strongly disagree

The topic of the blog is the same as our own’s. As I find this subject really interesting, I liked this blog as well. The articles were informative and interesting enough. There were many different materials which show that the friends who prepared the blog spent really much effort. The visual materials were appropriate to the theme. I find the videos and questionnaire quite interesting. It would be a good idea to scatter the related pictures between the articles. As there were many long articles it might be boring to read them all. If the pictures were located between these articles it would give a chance to make a pause and direct the attention to somewhere else which is more interesting. The only missing part was the section for useful links and the presentation video of the group members ( if I am not wrong) However, in general, the blog was excellent and well organized. To be honest, compared to our own blog , I find this one more informative. I cannot make any comparison between the presentation videos as I couldn’t see their video on the blog. Lastly, it is a good idea to put a picture of group members to the blog.

The topic was reallly interesting form e because I aminterested in such kind of subjects and like to learn about such things. I really like the pictures. The chosen pictures illlustrate the subjects very well. And the topic for the blog work is really interesting and useful for us. I have just a basic knowledge about the subject so I havent know that there’s a theory which says that personality types are important and effective in language acquisition. For thisreason it was really informative for me. And I guess, as prospective teachers, it is an important topic for us. We should be aware of such differences and their effects. The videos given as links were good and well summerase the topic. And the personality test part at the end was interesting. Also there was a intrinsic motivation part and. Our friends mentioned if what was done, our students would be motivated. That part was also good to apply to our future classes.

When I first saw the page, I got suprized. It was attractive and enjoyable. They thier photos and the other pictures were colorful and enjoyable also proper for their subject. You can feel that they really prepared well for it. So I thank for and appreciate their care and effort. The test at the end was good. However for the strategies and styles part, it would have been more better if they had mentioned more in detail. All in all it was informative and like the other blog topic it was useful for us to learn more about such subjects.

The blog is excellent. I can not find any bad thing to say.yes there are some disadvantages to read the whole articles and make the pictures related to them but it is a must for us to search and read the articles. the pictures and the video is highly related to the articles.The subject is really interesting. while reading the blog I understand that my friends who did this blog have spent a lot of time on that blog.I ca easily say that it is a well prepared blog which should be visited by everyone especially for academic purposes.

ıt is a good blog to read and comment on. I do not have any difficulty while searching on it. It is very easy to understand the article and the photos are very suitable. the discussion questions are very sitimulating in terms of having an idea on the topic. I really liked the way they have organized the blog.the pictures are very realted to the article and they explain us. the video is also very informative in terms of conveying the meaning. they had spent a lot of time to create this blog I can easily say that. What you should do is just click on the adress and read it.

VI. Group blog preparation video
I couldn't find that part =(
I really liked this blog because it was designed professionally. First of all, the topic “personal factors” was very interesting and attractive for me and I read it with a great pleasure. Reading materials, articles and further reading parts were quite informative and beneficial. Their organization and subcategorization related to the topic made reading and comprehension easier and provides a smooth flow. Moreover, useful links and videos parts were quite useful and gave important information about the topic. In fact, everything was understandable enough so I don’t suggest any alteration or explanation.I especially enjoyed the questionnaire and discovered myself one more time. May be, there could be more colourful pictures, cartoons or other elements which attract the readers more. In addition, I couldn’t reach the poll and blog preparation video. Except these, this blog presents a clear overview of the subject.
My second blog evaluation will on that blog;

I couldn't find any blog preparation video so I couldn't evaluate that part, either.
When it comes to my general comments, I think this blog serves best for academic purposes with its academic sources and important articles. The topic is so importantand necessary for our profession and it sheds light on our way. I especially liked "for further information" part because it presents extensive reading materials for readers. It is quite informative and includes useful and clear information about the subject matter. It also includes a power point presentation link and this is another good idea so as to convey the topic. I prefer more colourful and appealing pages which attract more attention. Therefore, if this blog had included more pictures, videos or cartoon, it would have been great. I also couldn't find questionnaire and poll parts.

VI. Group blog preparation video
There is no video.
I chose this blog because we also prepared our blog in the same topic and I thought that it would be interesting to see the one which may have similarities or differences in terms of ideas, videos etc. I think, the articles are quite informative and understandable because there are many charts to make it easy and permanent in mind. I did find the questionnaire quite useful which is “Define your learning style” because it is helpful for people who still don’t know exactly what type of learning style they have and I also answered the questions again with pleasure to evaluate myself. It was quite understandable, as I said before because with charts, pictures and videos they make it easier to comprehend the topic so I did not have any problem to get the point. However, it could be a bit more colourful, so if I were I would change this also I could find the poll which can be interesting for me to answer but except these everything is quite good. I like best the questionnaire because the most enjoyable part of the blog was to define myself again. Actually, because we prepared our blog on the same topic, I didn’t really learn something new but reading this one also important in terms of discovering the similar and different ideas. I did not reach the blog video, so I don’t have any idea about the experiences of the group members but I can guess that they also must have had some problems with time and organization because as we used before, I don’t think that they had difficulty with the usage.

I chose this blog because it was about communicative language teaching and communicative competence so it drew my attention. Because we will be teachers, I find it quite important and necessary to read. It was the article on linguistic and communicative competence I liked best and it is worth to comment. The other article was also quite understandable and clear to I did not experienced any difficulty to comprehend. It was a good idea to provide a part which includes links for further information so liked this opinion. With the videos, charts and pictures, they made the blog more enjoyable and attractive for the reader. I also appreciate the let’s brainstorm now part because there are really good questions that we need to think on. I couldn’t find the blog video and poll question so even if I am really interested in and curious about the question, I couldn’t answer so if I were you I would add a poll question which can draw the attention of reader and make them more interested in the topic. In addition, I found useful and interesting the thought of Chomsky and Dell Hymes on the linguistic and communicative competence and took pleasure while reading.
I choose http://multipleintelligenceandnlp.blogspot.com/ (Betül Baldan, Şakir Aşçı,Harika Başpınar, Cuma Altunay)for the evaluation.

I choose this blog because when I first enter the adress the background and the general view of the blog seemed to me very attractive. I like the topic because I always want to learn about this topic. In that sense the selection of the topic is very informative and useful for me. There are some articles which explain the different models on multiple intelligence and they are again very informative. The selection of the pictures is good. They reflect the topic very well and I find them interesting. The videos are appropriate for the topic also. I like the Multiple Intelligences test part most. It motivates us to participate in the event actively and our friends encouraged us to share the results also. The discussion questions are useful in terms of comprehend the topic. I also like the gadget part. There are useful gadgets. I generally like the blog. For sharing such an interesting and useful blog with us, I thank to my friends.

I choose this blog because the topic draw my attention because I think one should know how sociocultural factors effect the learning process. In that sense the topic is interesting and useful for me. As for the design part, I generally find the design of the blog well-prepared. I like the background it draws the readers' attention. The pictures and articles and videos are related to the topic. I find them well-prepared and useful. I learned them much. I also like the survey and questionaire part it is useful for perceiving the topic. It is a kind of applying the topic to the real life. I also like the poll part. The facility of choosing the appropriate answer is very good. By this, you can calculate how many people are interested in the topic and how much they agree with the idea. The discusiion questions are related with the topic and they are searching the focus of the topic. I generally like the blogg and thank to my friends for sharing their knowledge with us.

I find the pictures really interesting. It can take the attention of people very easily and make them interested in the topic. The inventory is also fine as we can do it and see what kind of personality we have. Moreover, I find the inventory informative, too. It informs us about the characteristics of our personality. It gives detailed information about the subject and helps us define the characteristics of our personality. There wasn’t anything I didn’t understand about this blog. Everything was clear to me because there were enough explanations in each category in the blog. Therefore, there is no need for further explanations for the subjects in the blog. I don’t see anything I would like to change about this blog. Everything seems good; the organization is also fine, as it makes the reading easier and there are enough pictures for the visual images but there could be a few more. I like most of the things in the blog, but especially the pictures. As I have visual intelligence, such kind of visual images attracts me more. So, it is good of my friends to use interesting pictures in their blog. Also, it is again good to see that they have suggested useful links related to reading, videos and a personality test. The entries were the ones we went through in our course, so I can say that there weren’t new things that I learned from the blog. However, the sixteen personality types were new to me, since I don’t remember such kind of a thing. Anyway, I must say that it was a good practise for me to read these things again in such an informative blog.

I find the PowerPoint presentation part interesting. In our blog or the blog which I commented on, there wasn’t a presentation, so it came interesting to me. The entries were informative, as they clarify the points related to the topic very well. The articles also made the blog informative because they gave more detailed information about the topic and they were about different aspects of the topic. There wasn’t anything I didn’t understand about this blog. As I said before, everything was clear to me. So, there is no need for further information or explanation. The thing I would like to change about this blog might be the organization. I would like the entries which explain the topic to be first, and then I would give place for the PowerPoint presentation and then I would put the links for the articles. And then, if they had suggested some links for videos related to the topic, it would have been more helpful for the readers of the blog. I like best PowerPoint presentation about this blog, as I said it was something different and interesting for me. As we knew this topic from our ELT courses, it wasn’t a new one for me again. I just had a chance to overview it one more time in a well-prepared blog. I couldn't find any blog preparation video so I couldn't evaluate that part.
My first blog evaluation will be on Fikret, Begüm, Fatma and Mesude's blog. As I am interedted in personal issues, I wanted to read them all as well as evaluate =)

If I am not wrong, there were no group v-blog preperation video :s
I wanted to make comment about this blog ‘especially’ because I am really interested in self-discovery and personal issues. While reading this blog, I really enjoyed. It was a pleasure for me to read and evaluate and it =))
First of all, it was quite informative and well-prepared. You can find every detail about the issue in the blog, and what is more, their organization is very good. They form a well-prepared organization as a whole. Despite lenght of passages, you dont get bored at all =)) In addition, there were useful links and a questionnaire about self-discovery. I really recommend you to have a look at this =))
If I am to suggest something to alter or add, though I dont find any point in changing things, I can suggest to make it more colourful. People like me, who are visual,may like more pictures and colourful organization. As I stated above, I could not find blog preperation video and could not be sure if there was a poll :/
Generally, I really liked the blog and recommend everyone to have a look at it =))

The layout and the preparation of the blog is really appealing. The image at the top is really nice and the names of the writers are given in a nice form. I chose this blog because the issues related with the brain always interested me.
Especially the multiple intelligence test drew my attention and I had fun while solving it. I can say that the visual part of the website is almost excellent. The placement of the images and videos makes an easy reading and I didn't get bored anywhere. The discussion questions made me think about further aspects of the subject.
The second blog was:

The first thing that strikes to me is the lovely color and the layout of the blog. Even though the font size is a little bit small and tires your eye after some time, the presentation of the website is quite well. The pictures are again small but very informative for the articles. The only downside of the page is that there are no videos on the blog (or at least I coulnd't find directly). Some interesting videos would be nice to draw the attantention of the reader to the subject. Besides these things, I can say that I enjoyed the subject and the blog itself.
My second blog evaluation will be on the same blog topic as ours. Özgül, Melek, Deniz and Seda’s blog =))

There were no group blog preperation and useful links part :/
I wanted to comment on this blog because I witnessed the preparation of it and I was curious about the outcome =)) In addition, the topic of the blog was the same as ours so I thought that it would be interesting to make a comparison and see the differences =))
The blog is both very informative, well-prepared and entertaining. It is very informative and you dont get lost while reading through it. The organization is also contributing to the well-preparedness of it, the sequence of information makes it easy to follow without difficulty =)) In addition, the charts are really helpful in conveying the information. I really liked the charts because, personally I find them helpful to learn and recall information much easier when I make a chart or summon the information in a summarized way =))Also, the questionnaire 'Define your learning style' is quite effective in defining learning style and I recommend everyone to try this =)
As for drawbacks, like most of the blogs, it can be more colourful and can appeal more to the visual side of our brain =)) In addition there were no blog preperation video and poll which would make the blog just perfect =))
I liked the blog and recommend everyone to read it because it is very informative ;))

I wanted to comment on this blog because of the topic as I’m interested in multiple intelligence and I haven’t regretted choosing this blog because I read all things on this blog by enjoying. I think first impression is important and theme of the main page is very nice; at least it impressed me so I continued to read it willingly. As I read, I saw that not only its images which make colorful the page and make easier to read but also its content is appealing. Moreover, thanks to this blog I tested myself by means of the test on the blog and I have learnt lots of things about multiple intelligence, so I thank my friend for sharing all these things with us.

I chose this blog because subject attracted my attention. I am interested in multiple intelligence. Whenever I meet an article about this subject, I read it.Therefore while reading my friends blog, I had a great plesure.
Firstly, I loved blog's organisation. It is really well-prepared. Secondly, It is very informative after each information there
are parts to make comment about it.Thirdly, pictures are suitable for the articles and they are attractive.Finally , I really like disqussion question and multiple intelligence test. It gives us opportunity to learn which intellegince we have dominantly. Also while watching their blog presentation I enjoy. It is quite successfully.I find this blog informative over all but I find quite interesting "Naturalistic intelligence" part.
I didn't know the existence of natural intelligence. When I last read an article there were eight intelligences and there were studies for 9th one but it's name was "existansialism.
When I saw it, I read it with a great wonder. It is very informative and shows us how we can teach our students according to their
dominant intelligence. I understand once more that when I solve the multiple intelligence test, I have musical intelligence:)

I chose this blog because I wonder the differences between our friends' blog and our blog. Our subject is the same.I found some differences.I see that there are some subjects which we didn't mention in our blog and also there are subjects they didn't mention in their blog. Our friends' blog is more brief. Our blog has more details and more videos but our friends' blog has more pictures. I became happy when I saw we couldn't use same
pictures so our friends can see different visual things.I like their blog. It is well organised, well prepared and colorfull.
Questionnaire and discussion questions are quite suitable. After reading the blog it is very enjoyable and easy to answer them.
While reading the blog, I especially pay more attention to anxiety part because my anxiety level is high and I wonder whether it
affect my learning process and also the picture on it attracts my attention. There was a woman who is very sad around her there was circle
showing the results of anxiety. I notice that sometimes I feel like that woman and I am afraid of having the other symptoms after
anxiety. There is even obesity. It is terrible. I also get my answer anxiety is one of the important obstacle in learning process:(
Furthermore, the video is enjoyable and shows us how to behave our students.Blog is quite informative, shows us the obstacles in learning process and what can we do to get rid of them.
If I have a chence to add something, I will just add some videos.
Another blog I want to comment on is the blog Nurten Çelikkol, Özge Aydın, Tuğba Begüm Abalı and Aycan Çağlar prepared.

As I couldn’t reach the video, I cannot comment on it =(
I think this is a not only nice, attracting but also informative blog. While I read it, I got lots of information about the topic (learning styles and strategies). And also, thanks to the survey and questionnaire, I tested myself and learnt which strategies are suitable for me. Moreover, pictures are quite related to the topic and titles and they give the clue about what is going to be told even before readers read it, so it attracts the readers’ attention to the text. I couldn’t watch the videos on the blog, but I don’t think this is my friends’ fault; probably it is a problem with the blogger or my computer. Apart from this video issue, I really liked the blog, so I thank my friends for sharing all these information with us =)

I found this blog really informative and well prepared. To tell the points I like, first of all I appreciated the useful links, which are most probably took time for them to find, read and upload. Discussion questions are also well designed and requires the reasons for why the reader agrees or disagrees which is, in my opinion, really professional. The articles were quite informative however, if they were a bit summarized and supported with more pictures and videos, it would be much more enjoying to read the blog. All in all, I would like to thank my friends for preparing such a beneficial blog.
The other group I would like to comment on is the one prepared by Samet, Hande, Nesrin and Ersin.

VI. GROUP BLOG PREPARATION VIDEO
I suppose there was a video but my computer was not able to open it.
I likes this blog very much since it was well prepared and the articles were not too long or boring. If there were pictures they would definitely be more appealing. The MI questionnaire was interesting and helpful for those who want to learn about their intelligences. The discussion questions were also well prepared and require the readers to read the relevant article to be able to comment on it and answer the questions.
I would like to comment on the blog that mentions the personality factors which belongs to Begüm, Mesude, Fikret and Fatma.

I want to examine this blog because, the subject is different from ours. It was really a nice blog. As one enters the blog one can understand that it was very well prepared. Every detail about the subject was mentioned in the blog. The blog was informative and absolutely related to the subject. The writings are easy to read.The blog pictures are very interesting and also realted to the subject. They made the blog colorful.I like the part that suggest us more reading, videos and personality test. They are also related to the subject and really interesting and informative. All in all,the blog is well prepared and appropriate for us. Thanks to our friends for preparing such a nice blog
My second comment is to the blog that is the same subject with us: Learning Styles and Strategies.

The blog is really nice one, it is so colorful and attractive. Every information in the blog is excellent. The organization of the blog is very well prepared. The pictures are related to the subject of the blog. The videos and articles also informative for us. When we look at the blog we can understand that our friends worked on the preparation of the blog very much. Everything is perfect. The subject was very well prepared and introduced to us. There is nothing negative about the blog.

i found this blog very well prepared.the reason why i chose this blog is that this topic would help us when we graduate and become teachers and I thought that it would be interesting to learn sth about the learning styles deeply I think, the articles are quite informative and understandable because there are many charts to make it easy and I think the questionnaire is very useful which is “Define your learning style” because it is helpful for people who still don’t know exactly what type of learning style they have. It was quite understandable because of the charts, pictures and videos. they make it easier to comprehend the topic so I did not have any problem to get the point. However, it could be a bit more colourful, so if I were I would add some more pictures. I like best the questionnaire because the most enjoyable part of the blog was to be able to evaluate ourselves. reading this one was also important in terms of discovering new info about learning styles.

i think, the blog is very colorful and lovely. Even though the font size is a little bit small and tires your eye after some time, the presentation of the website is quite well. The pictures are again small but very informative for the articles. The only downside of the page is that there are no videos on the blog (or at least I coulnd't find directly). Some interesting videos would be nice to draw the attantention of the reader to the subject. Besides these things, I can say that I enjoyed the subject and the blog itself.

I choose this blog because it grasp my attention. As far as I know she prepared the blog individually. however she did great work I think. especially the self-assessment part and pictures were really good. they are all related to the topic.I mean there was a coherence between pictures, other materials and the topic.
The first blog adress that I evaluate is:

1.What did you find interesting about the blogs? Why?
I find the subject, questionnaires and pictures interesting because they are all related with each other and they take attention.
2. What did you find informative about the blog that you have chosen to comment on? Why?
I find the subject informative since it is a useful subject in second language learning and teaching. I think all teachers should know about the personal factors in second language learning and teaching.
3. Was there anything that you did not understand about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on and needed further clarification /explanation? If so, what was that?
No, there wasn’t. I think everything in the blog is clear and well prepared.
4. What would you like to change about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on? Why?
I don’t think there is anything to need to be changed in this blog. However, maybe a summary and useful links part can be added.
5. What did you like best about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on?
I like the pictures best because they are funny, informative and they make a summary of the subject that they are related to.
6. Specify something useful to you that you learnt from the blogs and did not know until you read the blogs, and specify in what ways you find that piece of information useful.
Actually, we have the same topic with this blog’s owners so I learnt all the things that are written in the blog while I was preparing our blog with my group. However, I think the other people who don’t have enough knowledge about this topic will learn lots of things if they look at this blog.
7. By referring to the group videos that the group owners made, how similar and how different their blog preparation experience is as compared to you?
We have also found pictures and articles about our topic as they did. They also had difficulties while adding the items on their blog. We have difficulties in uploading our group video, but they didn’t have such a problem.

1. What did you find interesting about the blogs? Why?
I find the videos and the survey interesting because they appeal to me. Since the subject is interesting, the survey and the related videos are also interesting. It is good for me to learn which learning style I belong to.
2. What did you find informative about the blog that you have chosen to comment on? Why?
I find VAK survey very informative because it s very useful for someone to decide on which learning style he/she belongs to. The more someone learn about his/ her the more he/he becomes successful.
3. Was there anything that you did not understand about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on and needed further clarification /explanation? If so, what was that? No, there wasn’t. I think everything in the blog is clear and well prepared.
4. What would you like to change about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on? Why? I don’t think there is anything to need to be changed in this blog. However, maybe they can add a summary part.
5. What did you like best about the blogs that you have chosen to comment on?
I like the survey best because it is enjoyable, interesting and informative.
6. Specify something useful to you that you learnt from the blogs and did not know until you read the blogs, and specify in what ways you find that piece of information useful.
I have knowledge about the learning styles and strategies but I didn’t know that there is something that is called VAK survey. As I mentioned above, the survey is useful because it gives information about personal learning style.
7. By referring to the group videos that the group owners made, how similar and how different their blog preparation experience is as compared to you?
We had also difficulties in choosing a suitable day for everyone because of our busy schedule. They also did the blog preparation together as we did. We had difficulties in arranging our blog and uploading our materials into the blog.

the blog was really well prepared. the best side of this blog is it is enjoyable.Although there were not many pictures (the questionaire especially) the other things on the blog were quite informative.I think I can really make use of the information provided in this blog this is one of the advantage of preparing blogs and evaluating them as peer.as we are a little lazy students we do not search so much. therefore such blog preparation forces us to search and learn new things. also we help our friends to learn new things via our own blog.

I really liked this blog. Especially design of the blog shows that they have really made a great efford while preparing it. The topic is interesting, and entries are informative enough. I learned so many things while reading it. The page design is colorful and vivid. The pictures and the articles are appropriate for the subject matter. Discussion questions are well-prepared, and they give a chance to the reader to think more deeply about the topic. I loved the multiple intelligences test best. Because it help me discover more about myself. I can’t find any drawback to mention. It is a well-prepared blog. I congratulate my friends for their efford while preparing this nice blog, and I thank them for sharing it with us.
The second blog I chose to evaluate is prepared by Begüm,Fatma,Fikret and Mesude.

I chose this blog because I found the topic quite interesting. Therefore, it was really enjoyable to read the blog entries. Entries and articles are quite informative and it helps me enlarge my knowledge about the subject matter. I have learn so many things while reading the blog. I like the pictures, however; they could add more pictures to make the blog more colorful. I like the titles of the entries because they are all colorful. I love the test about personality best. It helped me discover more about myself. I checked some of the suggested videos and readings. They are all useful to broaden my knowledge. All in all, I really loved this blog. I thank my friends for their great contribution to my knowledge and their efford for preparing this blog.
Firstly, I have chosen the blog ‘’ the personality actors’’ whose link is http://affectivefactors.blogspot.com (Neslihan Bozoğlu, Sevda Aydın, Hayal Akyıldız, Züleyha Ağırsoy, Halenur Çankaya).

I found this blog really interesting and appealing because of my curiosity of this subject ‘’personality factors’’ in teaching and learning process and I also believe that humanistic factors are really important subjects that should be given attention as my friends supplied in their blogs entries. As I said here I found articles very informative and I accommodated and assimilated my previous knowledge about the effects of Humanistic Approach and empathy after I read the articles. I think everything is very appropriate for the topic and the subject that have been dealt with about this issue, and I think all the materials used while preparing a very suited blog are well- chosen and much related to the intention that is supposed to be given, I mean, the pictures, cartoons and video are so much suitable for the topic and advantageous for the readers’ appetite. I like best in this blog that the organization is very well- set and understandable. For example, firstly we come across the video and can watch and understand what our friends feel while they are preparing this blog and then we are served all the topics under subcategories such as empathy, self- esteem and motivation. At past, I knew about the anxiety affect students’ motivation badly, but I didn’t have such detailed information about these two terms affecting each other so much and I didn’t know authors have some doubts and thought about this issue such as Gardner’s opinion ‘’ integratively motivated students are less anxious in second language contexts; these authors therefore hypothesized that perhaps anxiety and motivation are opposite ends of the same dimension’’. After I watch my friends’ blog preparation video, I found out that we had also the same feeling while we were preparing our blog entries such as coming across some difficulties time to time and also enjoying ourselves while we were working as a group.
Secondly, I have chosen the blog whose link is http://canankilic.blogspot.com (Canan Kılıç, Gülşen Özsan).

I found this blog really interesting because of its topic which seems very appealing and influential to me. I think this blog is overall very informative in term of giving details about the Communicative Competence and Communicative Language Learning and I found it very useful in order to learn so much information about these two issues and understand their effects in language learning. I think all the points are given successfully and in detailed in my friends’ blog entries and it is not necessary to give much more information about the subject. Frankly, only thing I would like to change about the blog (out of the information and articles) is the color of the entries’ headlines because they don’t seem legible to one’s eyes. I like best about this blog that my friends wrote all the links that we should look at and obtain some more information because this subject really needs some further information and the links that my friends had given really helped me to satisfy my curiosity about the issue. Obviously, I learned so many things about Communicative Competence thanks to the articles and the statements by Dell Hymes ‘’ to account for this fact that a normal child acquires knowledge of sentence not only as grammatical but also appropriate. He or she acquires competence as to when to speak, when not and as to what to talk about, with whom, when, where, in what manner’’ and so, it really worked for me to understand the topic properly and rely on the sources that are given to make reader identify what the Communicative Competence is. It is not available for me to watch the blog preparation video because as far as I remember there is no video about the preparation part.

The subject of the blog is very interesting. It is informative and usefull for students and teachers . I can’t open the videos because of technical problems. I think these technical problems is the only obstacle that we encounter while doing blogs. Humanistic approach is one of the most interesting part of the blog.

It is very informative and provides a lot of necessary information about the subject. The videos and pictures are very useful to provide fully understanding of the subject

I choose this blog because I think it is of outmost essential that we know our personal characteristics.I found the information provided both useful and interesting.Especially 'personality types in language acqusition' topic was a must reading for foreign language teachers.I was shocked to learn that some researchers found 17,000 words in the dictionary that referred to psychological differences between people.The best thing for this blog, I think was that everything was neatly organized and the pictures were very effective and suited to the topic.The first picture was summarizing the topic I think.Which part of the glass you see? The full part or the empty part? I can not say I very liked the personality test.Because when doing the test I could guess the result, which type of personality I have. Maybe it is because we know a lot about this subject as future teachers.Also our friends have provided us with further readings which I liked very much.The only I would maybe change is the page design. I would provide the links of videos and readings to the top so that people without going to the bottom.Anyway it was on the whole very effective and entertaining.
My blog address that I evaluate is this:

The title is suitable for the blog's content. As I find this subject really interesting, I like this blog as well because it seems well prepared and it seems that they worked very well to do this blog.. The articles are informative and interesting enough. The visual materials are appropriate to the theme, and they use visual elements very well for this blog. I find the videos and questionnaire interesting and they are usefull for us to understand the context. It would be a good idea to scatter the related pictures between the articles, and they make use of pictures appropriately. The presentation video of the group members shows us that they have worked very hard. However, in general, the blog is excellent and well organized. I find it more informative.Lastly to seeing their picture at the beginning of the blog is very good, and the charts are useful and shows us the context very well.

I chose this blog because I think learning styles and strategies can change a lot in one person's life. Not just teachers but everybody can increase their efficiency by developing new learning styles and strategies. Actually I had some knowledge about the subject before so I can say it was more informative than interesting. the blog was colorfully designed and the pictures attracted me a lot. I didn't know about tactile and global learners. Also learning about direct strategies and compensation strategies for daily communication gaps and discourse was very helpful I think. The only thing they could add was some videos.I couldn't find any videos related to the topic. The testing part 'define your learning style' was very entertainig and useful. I really enjoyed reading the articles since they weren't too long.I think our friends did a very good job.

I choose this blog because I have looked at other blogs then I choose this one to evaluate, as it seems best.The topic is suaitable for this blog because it reflects the context very well. In that sense the selection of the topic is very informative and useful for me. There are some articles that explains everthing about the topic, and there are very usefull. The selection of the pictures is well, and they make the blog more colorfull and fun. They reflect the topic very well, as the pictures give us clues about the context. The discussion questions are useful, as they evaluates the context in an appropriate way. I also like the gadget part. There are useful gadgets such as Firefox, share this on facebook. I generally like the blog because it seems perfect because it is both informative and colorful. Also I like the last part which includes reactions. Thank you all, it is a good work.
My first blog evaluation will be on the following blog:

The reason why i chose this blog is that i wan to know further about multiple intelligences and nlp. The blog was the right choice i think, because it is a very good information source for the topic. The blog is really well-prepared in many aspects. It is clear that they collaborated successfully as a group. Every stuff they put on the blog was more or less informative and interesting. They are really good at this job. Thanks for such an informative blog.
The second blog i have chosen is Begüm, Fikret, Mesude and Fatma's collaborate blog.

I chose this blog because the topic is near to my topic and when i first entered the blog the pictures in it and colourfulness of it attracted me. It seems to be prepared with joy and fun. That why it is so well-prepared. I liked the cat which sees itself a lion in the mirror. The pictures are well adapted to the descriptions they are standing for. I really found the materials informative and i really liked this blog. Thanks.

It is quite clear that the blog is very well-prepared. Reading materials, articles and further readings are well-chosen and thus they are quite informative and useful. The blog’s organization and order of the contents are also quite good and it makes reading and benefiting much easier. Also, useful links and videos parts are very useful and provide important pieces of information. Because the blog is prepared professionally and everything is clear and comprehensible, I think there is no need for any clarification and alteration. The questionnaire is also good and it is useful in terms of learning about oneself. One thing that is disadvantageous for the blog is that I cannot find the blog preparation video, so I am not able to comment on it.

The blog is very well-prepared and well-organized. The photos and pictures are also very good and relevant to the topic. The articles are well-chosen and I think, they are quite informative and understandable because there are many charts and pictures to make it easier to understand. There is also a questionnaire which is “Define your learning style” it is useful because you can learn your learning style by answering some questions. In general, the blog is prepared professionally and everybody can easily and comfortably get information about learning styles from the blog. One thing is that I cannot reach the preparation video, so I am not able to write any comment about it.
