A blog sounds like a good place for questions and answers. You observed that the teacher will know who is participating because they posted a response or asked a question. Do you think that some of the students might not participate because the teacher is not in class? What if this student were in your group and you were working on a project together? How would you handle that situation? What if you had a question that needed to be answered right away, but the teacher wasn't online to answer. What could you do then? Could you find the answer some other way? Who could you ask or where would you look for an answer? Thanks for commenting on my blog. While I am here, I hope you don't mind if I read some of your other postings. You seem to understand how this might work. A blog sounds like a good place for questions and answers.

What if you had a question that needed to be answered right away, but the teacher wasn’t online to answer. What could you do then? Could you find the answer some other way? Who could you ask or where would you look for an answer?
