Encouraging Collaboration?
A class blog can encourage collaboration for a number of reasons. First of all, it is more accessible and convenient for students and instructors to share information. Also, it is easier for students to comment on their classmates' opinions because it is communal information. If students emailed instructors individually, whatever was said would only stay between those two parties. Also, instead of asking questions in class, posting on a class blog is sometimes better because the students may be shy or instructions may just be clearer in writing.

Yes i agree with you. It seems like in this day and age many information is every where. We as teachers need to use this to our advatage. Communicating in this way is very good because every one uses the computer and the internet at there homes now. Liked it when you said that "instructions may just be clear in writing" Sometimes i speak in a different matter than i type out in a blog and also the instructions are always in hard copy so every one remembers.
