Oh, let me count the ways. Blogging, as I said in class, provides a discussion without using up class time. Additionally, its easier to remember what people say on a blog because you can reread it as much as you want. You could even go back and add comments to people's blog from September as late as exam week. Further, for a big class, blogging brings a since of cohesion and bonding. By the end of the term, I bet everyone will have looked into and commented on each other's blogs.

I really want to believe in the medium as a means of improved communication among a group of people engaged in a common something. Speaking for myself, really, I have a vastly better idea of what y'all find interesting and significant than I've ever been able to have before, but I want MOOOOORE!
