Creating a class blog..
I want to use it for my future class. It will be a good review or preview material.
As the author said, it can give students a plenty of examples related to classwork such as vocabulary activities, grammar games or reading materials. Comments between students can work as a feedback to class. It will help them understand what they learned in previous class and encourage them join the next class more actively. And also teachers can design next class from those feedback.
Creating students’ own blog..
By creating their own blog, they can learn how to blog. They can write comments, opinions about their interest and class. It can be the portfolio of their assignment which can be used to check their progress. In their own blog, they can feel free to express their opinion about the class, which makes teacher know about them better.

Encouraging students..
Having students to blog their reactions to questions or photos or post their ideas about class will encourage them join the class more actively. Some students who are afraid of speaking out in class can be more likely to express their opinions on blog.

Hey,
I liked what you said about the ability of blogs to help involve the shy kids in class. It gives them a chance to think about what they want to write, time to work it out, but they are still participating!

I completely agree with the "shy kid" scenarios. Blogging is in someway impersonal because it isn't face to face and that does decrease the anxieties of those shy kids. This is an excellent way to prod them into participation with less fear.
Minyoung,
The idea of using blogs as portfolios is becoming more and more popular. I hope you have a chance to try out that idea.
