1. Wikis and Blogs Wiki Defined:
The word wiki in Hawaiian means quick. A Wiki is an online resource which allows users to add and edit content collectively. Wikis allow students to benefit from the knowledge gained by other students in the course and to learn through sharing knowledge they have accumulated. The first wiki was created by Ward Cunnigham in 1995.
Blog Defined:
A blog is a Web log or on-line journal. “Blogging” is updating the online blog and the person updating is the “blogger”. Since blog entries cannot be edited by others, as wikis can, they tend to reflect the ideas and opinions of the blogger. There is also the ability to comment on an individual’s blog.
Student’s are using blogs on a daily basis. They diary their lives and interests in blogs and their “friends” on My Space and Facebook (to name a few) comment on their blog entries.

3. What would I use a Wiki for?
Create a shared course resource, such as a course knowledgebase or glossary, to which all members of the course contribute.

Create opportunities for peer review by giving each student or group of students their own wiki to present work and allowing other students in the course to provide feedback within the wiki.
Ask students to create a portfolio of course work. Wikis are websites that are quick and easy to edit, so students can easily create a portfolio site directly within the course environment without any programming knowledge.
Allow students to submit research papers and other written works as hypertexts. Wikis make it easy for students to create hypertextual written works, and they make it easy for instructors to review the work and provide feedback.

4. What would I use a Blog for?
Create private, reflective journals for each student in your class. Blogs function very well as a tool for reflection over time, and they allow the instructor to provide feedback on each student's reflections.
Give students a space to have a dialogue and reflect upon a specific discipline related to the course materials.
Create an annotated bibliography with one entry per annotated work.
Have students upload written work to a group blog and use the comments feature to provide feedback on each others' work.
Broadcast course news and announcements to the course in a blog authored by the instructor only, but allow students to discuss each entry through the comments feature.
My favorite use is the reflective journal for a student. It gives the student a
