Writing Quality Comments

Good comments add to the digital conversation and support and encourage our learning.
We don’t always have to agree with everyone’s point of view, but we should express our disagreements or suggestions thoughtfully.
Make a connection to the writer by mentioning something you enjoyed or a similar experience you have had.
Give suggestions that promote further thinking or learning.
Ask questions that might spark a conversation about the topic.
