Thing 17

How is a Wiki different from a blog? A blog is where you write "posts" and others are free to comment. You are able to share your ideas online and invite others to comment on your posts. I like it personally because it is fun. I like it professionally because it is a place where I could communicate with parents on what is happening in my classroom along with posting assignments. It is a helpful communication tool because they could comment back to me. A Wiki is alike in that you can share ideas and different because people can change what another person has written or add to it. It would be cood for online collaboration activities (collaborative writing, creating a study guide for a test or quiz, group notetaking, group projects, vocabulary lists.) Both would allow students, teachers, parents and others to share their ideas. The drawbacks for both are the privacy issues.
