I think there are numerous of ways a class blog can encourage collaboration. A class blog is a place where everyone in the class can come together and share their thoughts. By doing so, the students can learn and get to know the students from their class by reading their blogs. This provides a different type of opportunity for students to interact with one another besides the usual classroom gatherings. A class blog also encourages collaboration because students will be able to comment on blogs which further interaction and exchange of ideas. This can also branch out collaboration in the classroom, where the students might discuss what they read on the blog to their classmates. Having a class blog is essential especially with this whole blogging project so that students can share with others what they have found by providing references or links to other sources.

Hey Lisa! I like what you said about the students getting to know each other outside of the usual classroom setting, and how you said commenting on blogs can "further interaction and exchange of ideas." I didn't even think about that when I was writing my post. I think a blog is a great way for students to get to know the other students in their class, and see how each other views various topics. In the classroom, it's hard to hear each and every student's opinion, but on a class blog you can see what each student is thinking without anyone being left out of the discussion. Good ideas and great post! :)
