Personal Review
I had never thought of blogging as a way for students to collaborate,
but only as a way for one to share their feelings.
Group projects commonly use emails, but by the use of blogs, group
members are better able to see the viewpoints of others to put together
a better project

Classroom
It is interesting how the whole class format is based off of blogs
While I have had classes utilize blogs, it has never been the primary source of
communication

I feel as though this would depend on the student and their willingness to try new
things

well as read what other students are saying
