Students are required to blog a lot at RMIT and staff are encouraged to use new technology in both delivery and crafting of the learning environment. I've been quite into this, and after a flurry of excitement find myself with several closed collaborative project blogs to contribute to.
All of these blogs are focused around managing their different projects effectively and also act as a space or central location for the developing project... a sense of it being something before it actually is something
I've found project blogs help keep all participants on the 'same page' and threads of conversations clear. I like how all participants in the blog have admin rights and equal opportunities to contribute to the discussion and evolving project. I also find it handy having blog posting notifications entering my email inbox re-tagged with the project forum - this makes managing several projects and multiple professional communication a lot easier
The other aspect of project blogs I find really helpful is the ability to sort and filter information through tags or labels. This is becomes a crucial function when managing a mass of accrewed information. I also like the capacity to build in links and references into the blog - so it acts as a developing information resource for the project group as well as a discussion space.
This blog here is my only open personal blog. It's new and I'm still in the process of working out what it is and what it's for.
