A class blog can definitely encourage collaboration amongst the students. A blog is interactive where people can use both words, images, or even video to expand on their thoughts. An online blog can easily connect everyone to one another. The students can view other student's blog and even comment. It can be a democratic atmosphere where students can agree or disagree with ideas. Plus, instead of waiting for the next class time for student to respond to each of their responses, they can at anytime of the week respond to somebody else's blog or comment. Basically, instead of having a class communicate or see each other once or twice a week, a blog allows the class to be together the whole time because they can log in at any time.

I totally agree with your thoughts esp. about not having to come to class to speak to your classmates. It's so convenient to have a class blog just in case you forgot or were absent from the class. That way students can access what was discussed in the class and be up to date. Plus on the class blog, students can further any discussion that was started in class. Yah for class blog! haha
Yes, it has the potential to be a great tool for communication and learning, I just wonder if students like us will really make the effort to read, respond, and discuss topics from the class blog site.
We will soon see,
