Wiki is a useful site to use with students because it allows them to share their work with each other. In posting on the web the information they share can also be accessed and used by other people as a resource. One of the issues in using wiki pages would be that students have the ability to edit over each other's work. This could occur accidently or intentionally. In either case, it ruins a student's work. Lastly, some of the information posted to the class wiki may be inaccurate.
In looking at our class wiki page I decided that I like the idea of using blogs in the classroom. Blogs will allow kids to reflect on what is going on in the class and to personalize their work with pictures and links. They can be used in a variety of subjects in school and teachers could provide feedback on the blog for students. One drawback would be that comments are public and so criticism could be viewed by whoever accesses the blog. However, this could be worked around given that using blogs could still be effective and educational.
