This article was very interesting. For a business classroom, you could reenact this experience through googlereader. For example, the students can subscribe to different business blogs, sites, news, or magazine sites in order to find current events or topics of interest to present to the class in a blog. Students could also work as a wiki team to update the class about the current event. Also, keeping the parents updated through podcast is a very interesting idea. This gives parents that want to be connected the chance to participate in their students educate! Also, it doesn’t force parents that don’t want to be involved but it could enjoy them with how simple it is.

One thing I did not like was all of the students homework being done over a blog. With businesse education students need  to be able to apply their knowledge by doing authentic real life assignments. This will have more meaning to the students and it may be easier to understand instead of the student potentially faking their way through a blog.
