Let's Collabo Blog Post #3
A class blog is a great way to encourage collaboration. In addition to the class blog we also have a list of links to each member's personal blog which is awesome in my opinion. Specifically in a small class like this, it's great to have a place where we can all share our ideas outside of class. Sometimes in class we don't have many opportunities to comment on topics in class. With a class blog we have more than enough chances to respond and receive. Sometimes it's easier to share your thoughts and feelings behind your computer screen rather than in front of the whole class. It is for me anyway. I feel that the best thing about a class blog is the fact that we are exposed to so many ideas from all points of view in just one website. It's also a great way to build camaraderie amongst students and instructors. If we feel comfortable with each other then hopefully it will carry on into class time.

The anonymity factor is something I didn't consider at first, but I like how you said it's easier to share when you're not face to face. I'm not all that uncomfortable sharing, so I didn't think about how a class blog could help someone who doesn't like to share in class.
I whole-heartedly agree. I think a blog definitely solves the problem of having to little time by allowing each person to respond at his or her leisure. I also agree that a blog is an awesome way to build comradery by enabling us to share ideas and communicate with one another outside of class time, which as you said, will hopefully transfer into our actual time in class.
