Using a blog can be applied to our online learning environment by using it for team collaboration or classroom discussions. We can also use blogs for teaching and updating classmates on assignments, grades, posting team assignments and as a chat for students who enjoy chatting with other students. The assignments can be updated weekly so students will be able to post their responses on the blog site. Since most blogs have dates attached to each posting, we can see when students are posting to ensure they are meeting the classroom requirements.
Online classrooms generally have weekly summaries detailing what the students learned each week. Weekly summaries allows the students to voice what they have learned, how the course materials, how they can apply what they have learned to their professional and personal life. Using a blog in an online environment would increase communication which would encourage students feedback.
