To blog or to wiki?? There is a difference. A blog is more of a personal thing and often the opinion of the author. Others can comment on blogs but cannot change the content. A wiki is a website that can be edited. A wiki also is usually specific information and not opinion.
A wiki could be used to display knowledge that students have learned about a particular topic. A blog could be used for students to log their progress on a particular project, and any obstacles they may have encountered.
Problems that could occur with wikis are the students ability to edit. A lot of time could be spent making changed that are not necessary one student prefers different colors, fonts or layout designs and this could be a time consuming conflict. To get around this students could be given certain criteria that cannot be changed after it is set by a leader.
