Making a Blog work in a synchronous medium


In a synchronous medium:
An instructor may assign students in a live chat room to review the blog for the week and respond with their own comments 150-200 words. 
This allows for students to respond outside of the synchronous environment. Another option may be to assign reading of the blog prior to class start online. 
During the online portion, students can discuss their reading of the blog and share opinions in a live setting which would prove very valuable.  
The benefit of the second option is that students have time to prepare for discussing the blog in a live setting.
