How does a wiki differ from a blog? When is one more appropriate to use than the other?
A wiki is an authoring tool that others may be asked to join and contribute to its content. A blog may ask readers to answer surveys or be interviewed, but it is not usually authored by a group. Both offer widget features, including embedding videos. I experimented with teacher tube tutorial videos for Photo Story 3. I also added a "tag cloud" and uploaded an image of our school.
As with any technology tool, the question should be asked, "What is the purpose of this tool?" A wiki might be useful to share information in a group. For example, the wiki I created is designed to showcase technology projects at school. Teachers may be invited to elaborate on their projects or to upload examples of student work. It is currently a work in progress. When students have completed their projects, we may decide to publish a few examples. Visit us at
