Class Blog
A class blog can encourage collaboration in many ways. In my opinion, the most useful way to use a class blog is to actually keep the parents of the students informed about the class’ progression. A teacher can upload reminders and assignments for both the students and the parents to view and receive. Parents can comment on minor issues involving their child’s progress. Students, who are absent, can be informed of what was covered in class by accessing class notes and asking questions in the online blog. Finally, students can assist one another by discussing topics covered in class and share valuable resources and links during a major assignment.

This is actually a great idea. Another option is added,no longer are teachers required to call or send letters to parents on student's progress. Parents can participate in their child's progress if they so choose by checking in on the updated progress of students on the blog. As for students, this might be an incentive to do well in class for the simple fact that their parents might be checking up on their weekly progress.
Thank you Anthony for the other day! Without your flash drive, I could never turn in my homework~!
I like your view from three dimensions: student, teacher and parents.
Learning can't accomplish by only student.
