Blog vs Wiki
The open style of a wiki can be useful for group projects, while a blog may aid in brainstorming or generating discussion. I believe a combination of the two will enhance and extend the learning in my future classrooms. As a wiki can limit which users can login and edit the content, facilitator control can virtually be the same as a blog, where comments and posts can be pre-screened. The main difference becomes the layout and organisation of information. A wiki becomes a continually modifiable easy-access web page, while a blog's journalistic style organisers and dates content so readers can see the interchange of ideas related to that particular blog topic (a valuable tool in the classroom).

ReplyDeleteYeah, Wikis are an excellent tool for collaborative work as students can upload their ideas and work.
