Abstract: 
This presentation tries to highlight the need to apply virtual communication tools in university learning, putting as an example the use of Blogs in the subject of Communication and Labor market. Communication and Labor market is a subject whose aim is to bring nearer the world of labor market to students, with the help of communication tools. In this case not only reporting on the existence of certain portals, but mainly through social networks and blogs. First every pupil is taught to create his own blog. Later he is introduced to the dynamics of navigation through posts and links to the blogs of his classmates and the main blog of the subject. Like this the whole classroom is connected in a virtual community, which generates contents and constant feedback and at the same time introduces innovations that are discovered in the network. Thus, the application is double, because on one hand the pupil learns the uses of blogs as a way of communication and, on the other hand, it is himself who directs his own learning. This way teachers become the guides along this process.
