Hello everyone,A colleague of mine came to me today with a question as to whether or not a blog, a wiki, or a web page would be best for her high school juniors to work with. She is the ELA teacher…Continue

Bjorn Holdt replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"All three are website, so all would be applicable here. You can't really go wrong on the choice.
I would have to agree with Amy here though, that blogs might be the most beneficial as they can get feedback from others more easily.
Good luck!"
Ray Wilkinson replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"An interesting question, and many interesting points of view in the replys.
I began with a Blog for my personal site, reasons being a Blog is free and easy to create.
For students I use a Blog for these reasons, plus they can Comment to each…"
Michael Mitchell replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"As with others here, I've used them all. No need to repeat comments, but wikis are more collaborative, blogs are informational in scope (Blogger), almost like a newsletter with reply options, web pages get a little more involved with plenty of…"
Alice Keeler replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"There are sites that are hybrids of all 3. Moodle and even a Google site. Why not have your cake and eat it too?"
Mack Skelton replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"I agree with Rachel, I think all of them should be linked together. The great thing about Classroom 2.0 is it's formatted so closely to Facebook. I think kids would be more comfortable using it than some other sites."
Lauren replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"Giving the student the option of choosing which they are more comfortable with should be the best plan. If it is a group project then a wiki would probably be the first choice, but if it is an individual project then a blog would be ideal."
Colleen Young replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"I totally agree Tracey. I too use Wikispaces. It is easy to use and students can very quickly create impressive looking pages.
I have found that sense of ownership really important to my students."
Tracey Gibson replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"I love using wikispaces as a tool in the classroom.
Giving kids individual pages within the wiki allows for ownership - yet at the same time collaboration. I use the discussion tab a lot and can see it being very useful in other ways
I like being…"
Bernadette replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"Hi Samantha
What is the best educational blog site that would protect my students from strangers and/or allow me to monitor incoming comments. I am very new to blogging but keen to use it my classes next year"
Amy Broomfield replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"Really it depends on what she would like to use them for. A website is a great source for concrete information while a wiki offers the ability to comstantly update the info as it changes. Though sometimes both of those options can be lacking in the…"
Terry Fonseca replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"I would go with the wiki for the project your are describing. The student can make the necessary updates and changes as they go along. The teaching professional can follow the students work progress easily. The wiki allows the attachment of…"
Colleen Young replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"I agree with nlowell they are all web pages essentially but depending on what I was doing and who with I may well choose one over another.
See Dr Mark Wagner's comparison chart - I added it to my useful reading page some time ago.
Blogs,…"

Colleen Young replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"How old are the students - Ning is 13+ only and now costs money doesn't it?
You could use a Wiki.
Wikisapaces is free for educators. Using the user creator you can create users - any age - so long as you create them. Private, protected. They…"
