I could use this blog in both environmental science and biology. I could have students search for specific topics within the blog and make comments, or have them write me a short summary of what they've read and their thoughts/feelings/opinions.
Also, because it has many topics I could offer them an opportunity to earn extra credit by reading and keeping up with some current events.
Utilizing this blog (along w/ others) would fit into my guiding principles because students would be learning from a web-based medium, and it's a new way of engaging the students. Therefore, I would hope for more focus and attention while they complete the work.
Also, from my perspective I am embracing new ways of reaching students beyond the chalkboard and lectures of a typical classroom.
